Reportedly they have cadets at West Point read Once an Eagle. Midshipmen should read The Captain. This novel loitered on the NYT bestseller list for about four years when I was a teenager. The story is set in the North Atlantic as a young Dutch tugboat captain learns his craft and how to shoulder the burden of command in the face of the U-boats and the horrific weather. In this first-person yarn, the captain charms us with his candor and vulnerability. We taste the food, make allowances for the idiosyncrasies of the small and close-knit crew, stand watches, haul torpedo victims out of the water, assert our national autonomy against the British convoy leaders... We feel the rage when a novice captain exposes us to death by bad rescue procedure. The narrative is constantly captivating. I re-read this book every two years or more often.
