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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes monochrome images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eAs new with light shelf wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003eScarce locally\u003cbr\u003eSee our other listings on submarines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450610696484,"sku":null,"price":49.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/imagescomingsoon.jpg?v=1787169984","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/survivors-british-merchant-seamen-in-the-second-world-war-by-g-h-r-bennett","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
