Artie Shaw took his clarinet to war, abandoning civilian celebrity to lead World War II’s most colorful navy band on an odyssey that raised military morale but brought him into dark waters. This book recounts the offbeat wartime adventures of the bandleader and the musicians he recruited for the hard-swinging outfit popularly dubbed Shaw’s Rangers.
