Danny is relieved to be alive, but his ordeal has left him scared and changed. He doesn`t want to go near the water again.; 8vo .
Don`t Go Near the Water is a 1956 novel by William Brinkley. The book parodies aspects of the wartime United States Navy, particularly Navy public relations, in which Brinkley served, propaganda, war correspondents, civilian contempt for the regular military, and Naval Intelligence.
The story is set in 1945, from just after the invasion of Iwo Jima to the end of the war. The officers depicted are in the Public Relations (PR) section of `ComFleets`, the fictional advanced headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, on the fictional island of Tulura (a stand-in for Guam).
It was the best-selling work of fiction of 1956 in the United States, finishing ahead of The Last Hurrah, Peyton Place, and Andersonville, the other three novels to reach `Number One` on The New York Times Best Seller list for that year.
