Description:

This collection of popular naval stories covers the entire span of World War II, beginning when the British Royal Navy faced fascist forces on its own until the final Allied victory over the Japanese in 1945. Fight for the Sea offers a rich mixture of accounts about such large and well-known battles and operations as the Battle of the Coral Sea, as well as lesser-known actions such as the submarine attack on Corfu harbor, the loss of the USS Leedsdown, and the saga of the USS Rich to characterize the breadth and variety of the war at sea. Also included are memories of John F Kennedy’s heroic actions with PT 109 and George H W Bush’s near-death experience with an aircraft known as the ‘flying casket’.

A sailor’s eye view of the war at sea, this compelling compilation has broad appeal. John Frayn Turner’s prose crackles with action and tension to keep the reader’s attention, and even those who know little about the war will find the stories to be a welcome introduction to the subject. Among the book’s special attractions are the little-known contributions of rescue ships and merchant seamen and the adventures of civilians, including Johnnie Ferguson, who spent three weeks adrift in an open boat when her ship was torpedoed. Readers will come away with not only a clear understanding of the giant scope of World War II but of the individual grit and determination that produced victory.
