NAVIES IN EXILE

The author of Firedrake tells of the activities of Polish, Norwegian, Dutch, French, Yugoslavian, Belgian, Danish and Greek naval defiance, in all types of seacraft. There are accounts of operations, battles, of sea deeds to score against the enemy, of the unconquered spirit of each country's sailors. These are the ships and the men who when disaster overcame their country, made their choice to fight against the enemy, and proved, in all theaters, the value of their efforts. Stirring reports of action, of losses, and the price paid for independence of spirit -- some of these have not been in the news or been made public before. A worthwhile contribution to the naval exploits of the war, recounted with high enthusiasm.
