I think this is a pretty good starter book for anyone looking into naval history. It has all the elements of a good story: dynamic characters, plot & crazy drama & suspense. Author does a good job of compiling several narratives & creating a strong sense of flow in his story telling. My only complaint is the author’s use of pronouns when he’s discussing multiple people at once. A few times I caught myself questioning “who???” But ya I love me a British naval historical account🙂‍↕️

One of the best nonfiction books I've ever read. At once informative, intense, accurate, gripping, and readable. Almost nothing here can be criticized.

An interesting book on a very specific topic - like all his books, it's quite well done, though the topic didn't always appeal to me as much as some of his others. Still, it's pretty incredible (and horrifying) what these men went through, and something I'd truly never heard of before.
