When I was a kid, my parents bought me the book on tape "The Cruel Sea". I still have the second cassette someplace.

I think it was one of my starting points for my interest in subs\u-boats. That would have been around 1984.

Didn't know about 'Three Corvettes' will have to look that out.

It sounds like an alternate, or earlier, version of this great book.

I read a library copy during my homeless days and gave my opinion here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...9&postcount=90. This came up in a topic only a month ago and prompted me to find and buy a copy. I haven't started rereading it, but it's there when I want to.

Going off the information in that link I'm even more inclined to purchase it.
