Book Overview

Convoy: A Story of the War at Sea is a book written by John D. Whiting that tells the story of the Battle of the Atlantic during World War II. The book focuses on the convoy system, which was used to transport essential supplies across the ocean to the Allied forces in Europe. The story follows the crew of the HMS Mariner, a British destroyer tasked with protecting a convoy of merchant ships from German U-boats. The crew faces numerous challenges and dangers, including attacks from enemy submarines and aircraft, as well as the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic. The book also provides insight into the lives of the sailors and officers on board the ship, as well as the impact of the war on their families back home. Convoy is a gripping and emotional account of the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought in the Battle of the Atlantic, and a testament to the importance of the convoy system in the Allied victory in World War II.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
