The Merchant Marine primarily transports cargo and passengers during peacetime; in times of war, the Merchant Marine can be an auxiliary to the United States Navy, and can be called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel for the military. Merchant Marine officers may also be commissioned as military officers by the Department of Defense. This is commonly achieved by commissioning unlimited tonnage Merchant Marine officers as Strategic Sealift Officers in the United States Navy Reserve. " (from Wikipedia).

"Robert Carse was a pulp fiction author first appearing in 1928. His stories appeared frequently in Argosy magazine and also in The Saturday Evening Post. He also wrote paperback original swashbuckling historical novels and also some non-fiction works. There is an eyewitness account by a Robert Carse, a seaman aboard the SS Steel Worker as it made its way along the Norwegian coast in an Arctic convoy during WWII and whilst I have not been able to establish a firm connection, as the authors published works include Lifeline: The Ships and Men of Our Merchant Marine at War and Nitro to Murmansk, it seems probable that that may represent an account of his wartime service."

"Vice-Admiral William Bligh FRS (9 September 1754 – 7 December 1817) was an officer of the Royal Navy and a colonial administrator. The Mutiny on the Bounty occurred during his command of HMS Bounty in 1789; after being set adrift in Bounty's launch by the mutineers, Bligh and his loyal men all reached Timor alive, after a journey of 3,618 nautical miles (6,700 km; 4,160 mi). Seventeen years after the Bounty mutiny, on 13 August 1806, he was appointed Governor of New South Wales in Australia, with orders to clean up the corrupt rum trade of the New South Wales Corps. His actions directed against the trade resulted in the so-called Rum Rebellion, during which Bligh was placed under arrest on 26 January 1808 by the New South Wales Corps and deposed from his command, an act which the British Foreign Office later declared to be illegal. He died in Lambeth, London, on 7 December 1817. " (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket .
