ABOUT
An account of the battle to survive by British merchant seamen during WW2, when their mainly unarmed vessels came under attack by mine, aircraft, surface raider and U-Boat wolf-packs.
Ships often sank within minutes of being torpedoed. Survivors is the history of this epic struggle. It is a graphic account of how the ships were attacked and sunk, how crews reacted, how they attempted to launch their lifeboats and how they ended up swimming or clinging to debris, or making long voyages in lifeboats or on rafts. Death might come at any stage, yet the will to live and the resourcefulness and skill of the seamen enabled a surprising number to survive.
Includes monochrome images.
