Torpedoed: Was Convoy T.M. 1. Sacrificed? Book

What happens when a cargo of ten thousand tons of high-octane benzine explodes? What happens when men jump into a sea that is ablaze? What happens when sixty-foot waves and ninety-miles-an-hour winds batter ships in the middle of the North Atlantic? What happens when a convoy of loaded tankers is sent, under-protected, across an ocean in which U-boat wolf packs are waiting for prey? And what happens when submarines are driven under by warships, and attacked with depth charges? These are some of the questions to which the authors provide answers in a book that is gripping, and bursting with character and incident as it lifts the lid on the Battle of the Atlantic. It is a compelling account of the brutal reality of war, disturbing, fascinating, and full of human drama.
