Paperback. Torpedoed by a German U-boat, adrift on the open ocean, gravely weakened and slowly dying of thirst - the odds of making shore are lengthening with each gruelling hour. Deliverance from purgatory on a decaying lifeboat will take something far more remarkable than sheer endurance.. Based on a true incident in 1942. Num Pages: 272 pages, map. BIC Classification: FA.

In refusing to renounce integrity and compassion, he keeps faith with their humanity, helping Brian through an ... Read more
