Hms Crusader

by A.E. Langsford

Death by fire - Death by ice.





These were the twin threats confronting the seamen on the North Atlantic convoys: fire from the Luftwaffe's bombs, and from the torpedoes of the lurking U-Boats: ice in the deadly cold waters that could kill in three minutes, five minutes at most.





Between these two hells lived another threat: the slow paralyzing hand of fear.

A Good Yarn

There's a mix of life ashore and life afloat. Good detail regarding naval matters, above and below the waves and the air components of both wary by nations. A good story well told.

Well written

This book was well written and informative. The bravery of our Naval and merchant seamen was astounding, especially since their sacrifice was so poorly regarded by telephone recipients.

Well written, a good read. Lots of detail, most of which sounds right. Good character development, including minor figures. Recommend.
