About This Item
London England: Collins, 1955. Hardback. Very slightly sunned spine to cloth. Red cloth with gilt lettering. This is the story of a ship in time of war, a ship in her finest hours, engaged in the work for which she was built, protecting the vital lifeline of supplies against the King's enemies. This is the story of that most hazardous of all voyages in war - the perilous convoy to Russian through the Northern seas. This is, above all, the story of a gallant ship's company, of men driven to the limit of endurance sought and fought by the enemy with grim resolution and every diabolical device. The characters are memorable and typical of the Navy, unforgettable in their living and in their dying, from the Admiral down to the latest joined ship's boy. 320 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . Reprint. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.
