Nashua, NH, USA - December 08, 2021 - Highly vetted by dozens of submarine veterans, Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots tells the story of a young man coming to age during a time of great turbulence and change in our country. It follows him from Navy ROTC to the required interview with Adm Hyman G. Rickover, to intense training, to the 3+ years he spent having a front-row seat to the very real intrigue with the Soviet adversaries during the Cold War.

• Narrated by a Navy veteran who brings authenticity to the story through his own former submarine experiences

• Highly rated by both submarine veterans and non-veteran enthusiasts

• Includes Interlude Stories about significant US Submarine milestones

It is rich with historical context that includes the Vietnam War and the associated civic upheaval, the counterculture, political assassinations, and the Apollo Space Program.

It explains, in terms a non-technical person can understand, the various systems found on a nuclear submarine and how they work: the reactor propulsion system, sonar, the periscope, how to fire a torpedo, communications, and a lot more.

No classified details are revealed, the story is more about the day-to-day life on a hot running nuclear submarine during that period. The book highlights the funny, maudlin, and sometimes tragic stories among the men who were locked up for many days in a steel tube with no sunlight, no news, no word of the family back home.

How did they deal with the stress of knowing one mistake could doom the entire boat? The details will fascinate you.

There are 147 reviews on Amazon of Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots, rating 4.7 out of 5. Here are two:

“A wonderfully well-written book, which takes a closer, more human glance at the life of the submariner during the Cold War. This is a human story, not a story about tech, or ops, or strategy. This is light-years apart from other submarine reads like "Blind Man's Bluff", but no less engrossing.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed this book and devoured it in two days. As a diesel submarine officer during the same era the book dredged up memories. The book was well written and should appeal to anyone with an interest in submarines. It’s biographical, not an expose or a hard-core technical treatise.”
