alistair maclean's (guns of navarone, where eagles dare, ice station zebra) first book -- just read it again for the first time in 15 years -- a really good book, fiction but based on his experience in ww2. about a brit cruiser on the murmansk run -- has u-boats, stukas, condors, glider bombs, mutiny, TB, everything a good book needs.
