Penguin 1st Edition, published 1954.
Commander Edward Young, the author, was one of the first RNVR officers to command a submarine in combat at sea. He didn't take part in any famous battle, nor did he sink thousands of tons of enemy ships. That doesn't mean he wasted his time. He landed spies on enemy islands, sank small coastal ships and (in the far east) junks and supplied food and other supplies to Malta when it island was under siege. Young's thrilling memoir recounts four years of submarine warfare, offering vivid details of commanding naval operations during World War II.
Condition grading: Good. Pen signature to title page. Some wear and creasing to spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
