520			_a"DAVE DARRIN AT VERA CRUZ: Fighting with the U.S. Navy in Mexico" by H. Irving Hancock is a historical adventure novel set in the early 20th century. The story follows Ensign Dave Darrin and his friend Dan Dalzell as they embark on their naval careers during a time when tensions between the United States and Mexico are escalating. The narrative captures their experiences, from nighttime escapades in New York City to their introduction to the life aboard a battleship as well as the challenges they face during this turbulent period. At the start of the book, Darrin is introduced as a young, confident naval officer who steps in to help a woman being harassed on the streets of New York. This encounter leads to a confrontation that foretells the conflicts he will face in his military career, including a later confrontation with Lieutenant Cantor, the antagonist assigned to Darrin's division. The opening chapters also establish the growing unrest in Mexico, with the backdrop of a potential naval intervention. The stage is set for adventure, camaraderie, and the challenges of military leadership as Darrin must navigate both personal rivalries and the demands of duty amidst the impending threats of war.
