Black and White Photos, index included. A Fight For Survival.
Captain Bob Whinney took command of the destroyer HMS Wanderer in 1943 while she was refitting to fulfil a new anti-submarine role. Already an nati-submarine specialist officer with an active record, Captain Whinney could now put his skills to work in his own special way, chasing and sinking the German U-boats that so perilously threatened Britain's vital maritime lifelines.
This book is his engrossing story of a truly frightening war, a war that stretched from the Atlantic to beyond the Arctic Circle, and had to be won. There are vivid accounts of life and death at sea as the reader experiences the true drama of the hunt, detection and destruction of the most feared of Britain's enemies, the U-boat. It was a historic fight for survival.
