"The dramatic story of Canada's forgotten war - the North Atlantic war against the German U-Boats. In those days Britain stood alone, relying desperately upon the viutal supplies brought by convoy across the great, grey wastes of the North Atlantic. there the pride of Hitler's navy, the U-boat wolf-packs, waited to pick off the slow unarmed convoys. What stood between the U-boats and their prey were the corvettes: small, battered under-equipped, and in need of repair. They were manned, not by naval profesionals, but by a group of skilled and dedicated amateurs - many of them were still in their teens. Yet this little band of amateurs took on and beat the German U-boat professionals - and won a vital portion of the war." Check out the scans. . 1st Macmillan Soft Cover Edition. Soft Cover.
