The cruele sea
Book Club Associates, London. 1971. Hardback. Handsomely bound in red simulated leather with gilt to front board and spine. With yellow ribbon marker. 510 pp. 13½ x 20½ x 3¾ cm. 520 gr. Twentieth Century Classics. With frontispiece drawing of Gordon Davey. The finest novel of the Royal Navy in WWII and a maritime classic. The story, based upon the author's own experiences, formed the basis of Charles Frend's notable feature film starring Jack Hawkins in one of his most memorable roles. So accurate is its depiction of the Battle of the Atlantic that it is one of the very few works of fiction admitted by Law to his standard bibliography The Royal Navy in World War Two. Ex-libris stamp on front free endpaper. Very fine copy. Rare in this collectors edition.
