Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a firsthand account of the author's experiences during the World War, focusing on the role of the often forgotten Silent Service--the British Navy. The author, while recounting their awe and admiration for the British sailors, exposes the true face of war through the brutality and depravity employed in the sinking of unarmed ships and the use of submarines in unprecedented ways. The author, while firmly on the side of the Allies, does not shy away from recounting the dark side of the war, including the aristocratic attitudes of the British officers and the senselessness of trench warfare. However, the author also finds moments of hope in tales of heroism and courage on both sides of the conflict. The book provides a unique perspective on the war from individuals whose role was as vital and dangerous as any fought on land.
