Integrity Publishers, 2003. Hard cover. Like New/Very Good. Signed by Author. Brief gift inscription by and signed by author. The captain of the U.S.S. "Greeneville" reveals the untold story of the deadly collision of the nuclear submarine with a Japanese fishing vessel. His accountability, integrity, and religious conviction provides an inspiring challenge to anyone who is facing difficult choices in any area of life. "The story of the collision made global headlines and was the subject of heated discussion and debate. What followed however was even more unprecedented. Scott as the former Commanding Officer took sole responsibility for his actions and the actions of his crew. He took the stand during the Navy's Court of Inquiry and testified without immunity knowing his words could be used against him in a Court Martial. Scott Waddle and his crew were heralded for their honesty and candor, putting aside personal pride in an effort to determine how such a horrible tragedy could have occurred on what was then the pride of the Pacific Fleet.
