John Frayn - Turner
This superb collection of gripping naval stories covers all the theatres and the entire span of the Second World War, from when the Royal Navy faced enemy forces alone until the Allied victory over the Japanese in August 1945.
This collection of popular naval stories covers the entire span of World War II, beginning when the British Royal Navy faced the enemy forces on its own until the final Allied victory over the Japanese in 1945. Fight for the Sea offers a rich mixture of accounts about such large and well-known battles and operations as the Battle of the Coral Sea, as well as lesser-known actions such as the submarine attack on Corfu harbour and the saga of the USS Rich to characterise the breadth and variety of the war at sea.
A sailor's eye view of the war at sea, this compelling compilation has broad appeal. John Frayn Turner's prose crackles with action and tension to keep the reader's attention. Among the book's special attractions are the little-known contributions of rescue ships and merchant seamen and the adventures of civilians, including Johnnie Ferguson, who spent three weeks adrift in an open boat when her ship was torpedoed. Readers will come away with not only a clear understanding of the giant scope of World War II but of the individual grit and determination that produced victory.
