A bit drawn out but fascinating nonetheless
The book is of its time and shows the attitudes of those caught up in war and how they dealt with unimaginable loss as well as victory. A bit drawn out but I guess there were long pauses of nothing between horrific battles. Very brave men who should never be forgotten.

another Mans book
just the thing for when one needs to distract oneself from the bigger issues of the day. True British navy through and through.

Excellent
One of the best of all his many books.
Such a shame people like David M who gave such a bizarre review have no imagination, compassion or understanding and worse still such ‘reviews’ can’t be down voted.

Well narrated war story; a bit charactured
This was the first of Douglas Reeman’s books that I’ve read. The plot was somewhat implausible but well narrated.
