During World War II, Admiral Sharp was CO of the USS Hogan (DD-178) on convoy duty in the Western Atlantic and Caribbean as well as in the invasion of North Africa. In 1943 he was CO of the USS Boyd (DD-544) and took part in many strikes in the Pacific: Wake Islands, Nauru, the Marianas, the Bonins, Mindanao, Cebu, Negros, Luzon, Truk, Okinawa, and Formosa. Among his later assignments were: CO of the USS Macon (CA-132); Commander Cruiser Division Three; Director, Strategic Plans Division; Commander Cruiser Destroyer Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet; Commander First Fleet; DCNO (Plans and Policy) during the Cuban crisis; and CinC, U.S. Pacific Fleet. Volume II is a detailed chronicle of the admiral's years as Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet. These were years when the United States dealt with a crescendo of involvement in the military and political events of Vietnam. Among the many events he discusses are: 1965 air operations against Vietnam; capture of the Pueblo; and the Inchon landing. He discusses many of the political and military personages of that time who were involved with the Vietnam War.
