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.
