Shipmates and Mistresses - Hardcover
Synopsis
"Shipmate and Bye and Large" is a revealing account of a life lived to the full. It tells of the dangerous missions as a midshipman during World War Two. The author had to endure dive bombings, the underwater menace of U-boats and the horrors of lives being lost all around him. He is particularly frank about his personal life, describing a series of girlfriends, long hours playing the piano and a breakdown with post traumatic stress syndrome which resulted in him leaving his life at sea to take up positions in the oil industry and eventually management training. Throughout the book, a series of colourful characters come and go, not least Bastard, the ship's dog, but always leave a lasting impression on the reader. This is a book not to be missed, a roller-coaster and candid tale of one of life's true characters told with all of the panache of a true raconteur.
