Helpful Score: 1
I am not a regular reviewer but am making an exception.
This is an inauthentic book which consists in large part of sections copied absolutely verbatim from Lund and Ludlam's TRAWLERS GO TO WAR and at least two copyrighted websites. Permission was not obtained. Another big chunk of the book is a long tedious list of wartime naval trawlers which one can see in several older publications and websites. It covers over 50 pages!!! The words "built at Selby" are repeated scores of times.
I found it irritating to read such mindlessly borrowed material.
The authors have "written" scores of books in the last 3 years alone and there is no real research, nor any understanding, behind them.
A friend of mine h as reported all this to the publishers and I know that legal action was suggested.
