Glanzman wrote and illustrated this intimate account of his life aboard a Navy destroyer, the USS Stevens. As legendary X-Men scribe Chris Claremont noted, this “isn’t a story of make-believe super-beings; these are real people, with real fears, being transformed by events and circumstances into men of courage.” Back in print for the first time in more than twenty-five years, this new collection unites both A Sailor’s Story and its sequel, A Sailor’s Story: Winds, Dreams, and Dragons, plus a never-before-seen ten-page story of the USS Stevens, Even Dead Birds Have Wings.

Max Brooks, author of World War Z writes :

Quoting  begins No one, from Stephen Ambrose to Steven Spielberg, can tell a better story than A Sailor’s Story. Quoting  ends

The New York Times writes:

Quoting  begins What makes A Sailor’s Story most compelling is its modest grace. It’s not really a memoir of war, but of life aboard a floating town. Mr. Glanzman’s stories are like those you’d hear from a favorite uncle, true tales about average men who were most concerned about beer, women and gambling, not life, death and the enemy. Quoting  ends
