Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. 384 pages. Includes Illustrated endpapers. Introduction, Conclusion, Glossary, Notes, Bibliography, and Index. Also includes maps, photographs of ships, diagrams of ships, British navy line officers' Shoulder Boards and Sleeve Insignia. Topics covered include The Yachtsmen go to War, A Novelist at Sea, Joining the Navy, Becoming a Sailor, The CW Experience, King Alfred, Fighting the Submarine, Amphibious Warfare, First Command, Western Isles, Convoy, and Landings. One of Britain's leading naval historians looks at the social background of British wartime naval recruits, the training methods, the personal experiences of those involved and what they had to learn to become an officer of the watch on the bridge of a warship, or even the captain of a landing craft or frigate in the Second World War. Brian Lavery (born 18 July 1945), is a British naval historian, author, and Curator Emeritus at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, England. Traditional Boats & Tall Ships refers to him as "one of the world's leading naval historians."[2] He has since published over 30 books, covering marine architecture, ship construction (including several in Conway's Anatomy of the Ship series), and naval warfare from its infancy to present day. He is a leading expert in the career of Nelson and the broader Royal Navy. Patrick O'Brian found Nelson's Navy (1989) to be "the most nearly regal that I have come across in many years of reading on the subject." The Times labelled the same book a "masterpiece on life in the Senior Service under England's favourite seafaring son." Brian Lavery's extensively researched study takes an in-depth look at the officers of the Royal Navy and the various routes they took from initial recruitment and training to their role in the fighting. During World War Two the Royal Navy had to expand more than sevenfold to counter numerous threats across the globe. This book looks at the social background of British wartime naval recruits, training methods, the personal experiences of those involved and what they had to learn to become an officer of the watch on the bridge of a warship. The first half of the book looks at the selection and training of all types of officers, from experienced yachtsmen and tradesmen to ordinary seamen, and includes a chapter on the training establishment where recruits were prepared for war. The book then follows various recruits into service on board ships. Quotes from well-known actors, writers, and entertainers-John Mills, Alec Guinness, and Evelyn Waugh, among others-show how important their wartime service was to their subsequent careers.
