About This Item

Toronto, Ontario, Canada.: Signet Book - NAL / New American Library, 1979. Book. Illus. by Painted Cover Art. Fine. Soft cover. Fourth Edition By Publisher.. 180 pgs. "(Tells) the dramatic story of Canada's forgotten war - the North Atlantic war against the German U-boats. In those days, Britain stood alone, relying desperately upon the vital supplies brought by convoy across the great, grey wastes of the North Atlantic. There the pride of Hitler's navy, the U-boat wolf-packs, waited to pick off the slow, unarmed convoys. What stood between the U-boats and their prey were the corvettes: small, battered, under-equipped, and in need of repair. They were manned, not by naval professionals, but by a group of skilled and dedicated amateurs - farm boys off the prairies, Toronto taxi drivers, bricklayers from Quebec, and a smattering of merchant seamen. Many of them were still in their teens; their officers, including 'The Old Man', were often in their mid-twenties. Yet this little band of amateurs took on and beat the German U-boat professionals - and won a vital portion of the war." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall..
