Citizen Sailors: The Royal Navy in the Second World War

by Glyn Prysor

ISBN: 9780141046327

Published: 2012-04-26

World War, 1939-1945

From the Battle of Dunkirk to the sinking of the Bismark and Scharnhorst, "Citizen Sailors" is the first definitive history of the Royal Navy in WWII. Drawing on hundreds of contemporary diaries and letters, along with memoirs, oral history and official documents, Glyn Prysor paints a vivid human panorama of the war at sea: nerve-wracking convoys, epic gun battles, devastating aerial bombardment and swashbuckling amphibious landings. Seen through the eyes of sailors themselves, it is a compelling account of daily humanity, horror, triumph and tragedy, and shows how the Royal Navy fought in every conceivable vessel from vast aircraft carriers and cramped corvettes, to fast motor boats, rickety minesweepers, Swordfish biplanes and aging submarines.
