£1 Torpedo Run by Douglas Reeman
PUBLISHER: Arrow YEAR PRINTED: 1982... ISBN: 0099283808 FORMAT: Paperback CONDITION: Good. So,e light wear to covers and cover edges, with a couple of very small creases. Spine cracked, and slightly cocked. Good internally but loose in the middle. DESCRIPTION: It was in 1943. On the Black Sea, the Russiansn were fighting a desperate battle to regain control. But the Russians’ one real weakness was on the water: whatever they did, the Germans did it better, and the daring hit-and-run tactics of the E-boats plagued them. At last the British agreed to send them a small flotilla of motor torpedo boats under the command of John Devane. Devane had been in the Navy since the outbreak of war. More than a veteran, he was a survivor – and the two rarely went together in the savage war of MTBs. Given command at short notice, Devane soon learned that, even against the vast and raging background of the Eastern Front, war could still be a personal duel between individuals.
