Captaining the submarine Ursa, he's part of the fleet deputed to disrupt the flow of war supplies from Italian ports to Rommel's Afrika Korps. Although Ursa is small, under armed, and frustratingly slow, she succeeds, on her 17th Mediterranean cruise, in sinking a German tank-transporter. That triumph puts Mike at the top of the league-he has now sunk more tonnage than any of his contemporaries. Promotion to Lieutenant-Commander, at the age of 28, is now on the cards. All he has to do is adhere to two rules-stay alive, and keep your nose clean. Near Fine/Near Fine. ISBN: 9781847441751

Broad beans are showing their heads perkily. But I forget. We are at war. The boys in the village are leaving one by one. ' Maggie Joy Blunt; 'A lovely book. It will appeal to anyone who appreciates the richness and diversity of human experience' - Tony Benn; 'I haven't read a more engrossing book in years' - John Carey, Sunday Times; 'a quite magical store of voices from another age' - Observer; 'These are invaluable records of quiet lives, sometimes despairing, often moving, occasionally bitter, frequently prescient. Occasionally they are just plain funny' - Sunday Telegraph; 'richly textured diaries. what really makes the book is the fresh light it sheds on the immediate post-war years. it is history from the other end of the telescope - what life was like on the ground' - Financial Times; 'For me the year's most compulsively readable book, a rich trove of entertainment and instruction. As five diarists candidly record their post-war experiences and reactions, social history vividly unrolls and personalities fascinatingly unfurl' - Peter Kemp, Sunday Times n nReview nFascinating, delightful, illuminating.
