Descrizione
8vo., First Edition thus; handsomely bound in full navy morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. With small institutional press-mark on Foreword. The second part of Monsarrat's well-known 'Corvette' trilogy, published simultaneously with the UK edition. Taken in sequence the trilogy provides a near-continuous record of Monsarrat's early wartime service; furthermore they contain much of the inspiration and context, and in several cases actual incidents, which reappear in his masterpiece 'The Cruel Sea'.
