THE BRISTOL WARRIOR JOB: a novel
The war was going badly for America in 1942, but the Tebo shipyard was bursting with ships and the waterfront bars were exploding with sailors, hustlers, and shipyard workers. When a smashed rivet ship limped into port requiring urgent repairs, Terry Peirce, in charge of personnel, had to hunt down hard-drinking, temperamental rivet gangs to handle the job. War fever consumed the nation. Girls like the bewitching Viola Wakeless went mad for gold braid while Terry, crazy for Viola, tried to break free of her. Brilliantly depicted here, this was an electric time like no other in America’s history.
