The bestselling book of 1956 is a collection of humorous stories about the Navy's public relations service, set on a Pacific island. It is of its time, which means awkwardness about race and gender roles. But its jokes about officers versus enlisted men, and the self importance of marketers, are still funny. And the story of an officer romancing a local girl by buying her books and building a school? You gotta respect those moves.
