Hms Marlborough Will Enter Harbour

ISBN: NI012488
Author: Nicholas Monsarrat
Description:
This book contains three long stories by the author of the Cruel Sea. The first, and best known, is the story of a warship, crippled and sinking, out of radio communication with the rest of the world and for weeks almost helpless in hostile seas. It is the story of a galland captain and survivors of his crew who fight to bring the ship into safe harbour. The drama is in their delayed success. Leave Cancelled is another wartime story, of an officer and the girl he has married concentrating their passionate love into twenty four all-too-short hours. Heavy Rescue tells of the gallantry and self sacrifice of the leader of the Heavy Rescue Squad during an air raid on London. Nicholas Monsarrat reveals himself as an acute observer of mankind and a writer who can invest almost any situation with drama.
