Klappentext
BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE PATHFINDERS
As the UK entered WWII, and the nation called its men and women to their battle stations, a rag-tag group of sailors was brought together to form a 'navy within a navy' - the Royal Naval Patrol Service - to help defend Britain's shores.
From sailing on the frontlines with the motley crew of sailors using converted fishing vessels to clear sea mines from British waters to Winston Churchill's clandestine war room meetings with navy leaders, Will Iredale brings us into the pivotal moments that transformed the war and helped secure victory for the allies with first hand accounts, exclusive interviews with veterans, and new material from the archives.
This is the defining story of the overlooked unit of ordinary people who worked day and night to keep Britain safe in her darkest hour.
