Thunder and Storm
The Haverfield Incident
Rick Ainsworth
This novel is set in the U.S. Navy in 1963 and 1964, offering the reader an insight into a period of American history which has been neglected; the era between the innocence and heroism of the Greatest Generation, and the wrenching changes of the civil rights and Viet Nam protest movements. It is a story of a young man’s journey to maturity, of the lessons a young generation needs to learn, and of the dignity and value of the United States Navy and its traditions and history.
