Expand description
Nicholas Monsarrat, the finest writer on sea warfare during World War II, saw the horror firsthand as a frigate captain in the British Navy. In dramatic, vivid language, he recounts the terrible years between 1940 and 1943, including the autobiographical It Was Cruel: A Ship to Remember (about the sinking of the Lancastria in 1940); I Was There; HMS Marlborough Will Enter Harbour; and The Ship That Died of Shame -- three short fictional pieces.
