Description
The Submariners Life in British Submarines 1901-1999 is an authoritative anthology of personal experience that spans the entire history of British submarine service. From the early Holland boats to the giant Trident nuclear vessels, this collection of first-hand accounts offers a unique glimpse into life aboard the Royal Navy's submarines.
Drawn from personal memoirs, official reports, logbooks and private journals, John Winton weaves together compelling stories of survival and heroism in times of intense danger with lighter moments and anecdotes about daily life. The book includes vivid descriptions of patrols during both World Wars, torpedo attacks, depth charging, clandestine operations and the sinking of the General Belgrano.
With its expert compilation and welcome balance of drama and everyday life, this anthology is a valuable resource for naval enthusiasts and historians alike. John Winton's own experience in the Submarine Service adds weight to the book's authority, making it an immensely readable and engaging read.
