Uncommon Courage
by Jones, Julia
In this absorbing book, novelist and sailor Julia Jones tells the compelling stories of the yachtsmen, her father among them, who volunteered to go to sea to serve in the Second World War. From disparate backgrounds but sharing a love and knowledge of the waters around Britain, few of them imagined just how far their choice to enlist would lead them from their "normal lives." They became commanders of destroyers and submarines, and some undertook dangerous and covert missions of sabotage. Many made it through the war, others paid with their lives. As reviewer Griff Rhys Jones has written, the book is "an unexpected and important story, rivetingly told."
