The Good Shepherd by Forester C.S - 1955

Boston: Little Brown & Co, 1955 "The mission of the commander was to lead the protecting screen of four escort vessels convoying thirty-seven Allied merchantmen across the icy North Atlantic from America to England. It was in the most critical days of World War II, when the German submarines had the upper hand and Allied shipping was suffering heavy losses. The tense, concentrated action begins when Commander Krause is called to the bridge just after he has taken a much deserved shower. The wolf pack is forming and he has not time enough even to put on warm outer garments. For the next forty eight hours he remains on the bridge of his ship, exhausted beyond measure, he must make countless and terrible decisions as he leads his small fighting force against the relentless U-boats."
