Dark comedy at its darkest.
I screamed laughing when reading this book. It is very, very dark. I felt as if I was part of this family of misfits and cringed when turning the pages...This story is not for you if you don't like tragic, dark comedy. If you like Coen Brothers movies, David Lynch etc you will love this - go for it.

A very funny tragedy
Why is this book out of print? It's a sad and funny look at (Navy) life, as seen by three sailors "On The Town," with the ghost of the Nuremburg trials dogging their steps. See the movie, read the book, if you can find it.

wonderful
i havn't quite finished reading this. i like it. the author is my cousin. i need to know the year it was published.

The Old Navy
As with his book Cinderella Liberty, Dennis Ponicsan has captured the essence of being a Bluejacket in the Navy which existed before the All Volunteer Force. Sensitivity, diversity and gender equality did not govern these men's lives. Rather, the brutally masculine environment of that era is well captured in this story of two Brig Chasers escorting a young sailor to a Naval Prison. True to their nature, these two Petty Officers take pity upon the young Seaman and show him some liberty he will be denied while in prison. Humor, tragedy and inspiration run through the story. Last Detail is a sailor's story written by a former American sailor. Any reader who knows what WestPac cuffs are will revel in reading this book. For those readers who cannot differentiate between a hawse pipe and a sewer pipe, you will learn a lot.
