The Cruel Sea
Author: Nicholas Monsarrat
The finest novel ever written of ships and men in war. Will take hold of you as only an occasional novel ever can. A truly remarkable novel. One of the most windswept, sea-tossed pulse-stirring stories to come out of the war. The men are the stars of the story.

A powerful novel of the North Atlantic in WWII, it's the story of the British ships Compass Rose and Saltash and their desparate cat-and-mouse game with Nazi U-boats. First published to great acclaim in 1951, The Cruel Sea remains a classic novel of endurance and daring. The author, Nicholas Monsarrat, served in the Royal Navy during WWII and later joined government service.
