Description
Set against the backdrop of World War II's Battle of the Atlantic, Killing Ground is a gripping tale of naval warfare and bravery. Lieutenant-Commander David Howard and his crew aboard HMS Gladiator fight for survival in a relentless war against an ever-present enemy and a violent sea.
The Western Ocean becomes a killing ground as Merchant Navy convoys are targeted by Hitler's U-boats, forcing the destroyer to take part in a full-scale war. With no rules and only one objective - to protect the vital convoys at all costs - the men of HMS Gladiator must confront their own mortality.
With vivid naval action and authentic portrayals of life on board a 20th-century destroyer, Killing Ground is a stirring account of courage and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming odds. Douglas Reeman's masterful storytelling brings this pivotal moment in history to life with unflinching realism.
