The Sea Takes No Prisoners: The Men and Ships of the Royal Navy in the Second World War

This volume presents the voices of more than one hundred and twenty-five Royal Navy men and women recounting their days of service to Britain and the world during World War II. The stories, selected from the audio archive of the Imperial War Museums, cover a wide range of wartime experiences, including life before the war, motivations for enlisting, the rigors of training, and the experience of reporting for duty. This book invites readers to accompany these sailors as they journey from great oceans to unknown backwaters and engage, year by year, in some of the war’s most noted naval battles and campaigns. [from publisher]
