ABOUT
Alex Cherry, an American from Buffalo, New York, who ditched his job as a Wall Street banker and volunteered to serve with the Royal Navy during World War 2. The real uniqueness of the book lies in its description of Royal Navy traditions. As all its traditions and ways were new and "foreign" to Cherry, he goes into great detail about the strange ways of the Royal Navy and does so with great humour and an eye to detail.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome illustrations, maps on end papers.
