Citizen Statf Photo | West's High School certifi graduste can enter ve college | Key Books (THE ENEMY by Wirt Wil- liams, non-fiction, Houghton Mifflin Pub. Co., Boston, Mass., 314 pages.) The villains in this book are the submarines that prowl under the seas. The hero is the destroy- er, the USS Dee. The story is a factual and in- teresting presentation of the Dee’s chase of enemy subma- rines. Everything about the routines of life aboard a de- stroyer is described in detail from the rablaisian conversation of the sailors to a description of the commanding officer's cabin. The fifteen thousand miles of atwo months submarine hunt over four million square miles of ocean is described. And it is seen as the 150 men of a destroyer crew would see it. Two kinds of readers will en- joy this book—those who have spent time on naval destroyers and people who would like to. The volume needs an audience willing to accept more pedestrian detail than would the average reader of @ sea yarn. And any story of a submarine or the hunting of submarines will always suggest comparison with Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” This volume is another negative answer that a factual account of anything can ever ri- val for excitement the product of man’s imagination. {DIVING TO ADVENTURE by Hans Haas, non-fiction, lated from the German by Bar- jrows Mussey, published by Dou-/ is Goggle-fisher Haas’ bleday Publishing Co., New York City, 280 pages.)
