description: In To Make the Run Joe Gladstone reflects on his years as a sailor and a rank-and-file member of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific from 1940 to 1952. Gladstone is a natural raconteur with a good ear for nautical lore and a good judge of character. Here Gladstone presents a compelling sketch of his life of a deep-water sailor from the start of World War Two through the end of the Korean War. To Make the Run is as good a read as Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast.
