THE FIGUREHEAD - A STORY OF CONFLICT AND LOYALTY AT SEA IN WORLD WAR II
by Macdonald, Vice Admiral Sir Roderick
- Used
Pentland Press, Edinburgh, 1994, UK 2nd printing, hard bound in dust jacket, 6 x 8 1/2, FINE/FINE CONDITION, 201 pages, numerous sketches. ------------------------The Figurehead presents a unique account of life in a destroyer H M S FORTUNE, commanded by an eccentric at odds with both officers and ship's company in the early 1940s during the deepest pit of World War II. With a lively sense of humour and dispassionate feel for the absurd, it describes operations and experience in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian Ocean, complimented by events and the reactions of those on board, the threat of full scale mutiny, a near miss under the bows of a troopship, and disaster narrowly averted in Malta when confronted by a wall of flame. This amusing and colourful memoir of inadequacy, frustration and one major naval defeat with its element of tragedy, is nevertheless a fine tribute to the British sailor, who endured the ferocity of battle, the physical hardship of everyday life, and a prevailing question — "whatever next?
