LUND, PAUL AND LUDLAM, HARRY. Night of the U-Boats.
New English Library, (New York, 1974).. 173 pp, mass market paperback. "After fourteen months of conflict with Germany, England stood alone with her back to the wall. There had been the withdrawals from Norway, the fall of Denmark, Holland and Belguim. France had capitulated and Italy had come into the war on the side of Hitler. Invasion seemed imminent and while many British ships were on anti-invasion patrol, convoys in the Atlantic were left desperately short of escorts. This is the story of one of those convoys, SC7, which sailed from Nova Scotia on October 5, 1940 - thirty five ancient, slow ships with cargoes of timber, grain, steel, scrap and iron ore. It was nothing special and might have been quickly forgotten had it not come through without too many losses. Bu t convoy SC7 sailed into history as the victim of one of the biggest and most painful surprises sprung by the Germans in the war at sea." Interior - clean and tight, pages browning. Exterior - mark on top edge of text block, moderate edgewear a n d scuffing . V G-.
