Description

The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monsarrat. 'Based on the author's own vivid experiences, The Cruel Sea is the nail-biting story of the crew of HMS Compass Rose, a corvette assigned to protect convoys in World War Two. Darting back and forth across the icy North Atlantic, Compass Rose played a deadly cat and mouse game with packs of German U-boats lying in wait beneath the ocean waves. Packed with tension and vivid descriptions of agonizing U-boat hunts, this tale of the most bitter and chilling campaign of the war tells of ordinary, heroic men who had to face a brutal menace which would strike without warning from the deep . . .' The book has heavy general wear with bumps and damage at the top and bottom of the spine and staining on the front and back covers. Previous owners name or inscription on inside front page but the book remains most readable.
