Here is a generous selection of personal experience written by the men and women who were there: in the British and Commonwealth Navies, the Fleet Air Arm, the Merchant Navy, or ashore. Names which have passed into history - Narvik, Dunkirk, the River Plate, Taranto, the Bismarck, Crete, the Battle of the Atlantic, the Russian convoys - all these and many others are reflected in eyewitness accounts (some classics of their kind; others little known or previously unpublished). Few books contain so much that is exciting and so much that is heroic. The sea is a way of life: all those who lived it are represented, from the great Admirals and Captains right through the scale to the humblest sailor or Wren.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46091336319195,"sku":"9780712660648-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9780712660648-us-300.jpg?v=1727836415","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780712660648-secondhand-freedoms-battle-v-1-the-war-at-sea-1939-45","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
