First published by Collins in 1974, this compelling story follows the dangerous mission of escorting a vital convoy across the Atlantic during one of the most perilous periods of the war. Drawing on Trew’s deep understanding of naval operations, the novel captures the tension, courage and strategic challenges faced by Allied sailors as they battled enemy submarines, harsh weather and the constant threat of attack.
