Defiance At Sea by Jon Guttman presents fourteen true-life stories of 'last stands' afloat - valiant sea fights in the face of daunting odds. It tells of tales of heroism and hard fighting, spanning the centuries of sea warfare from the sixteenth century to the present.
The book explores how situations arose in which the ships were trapped or forced into the final defence - some by calculated risk, others by sheer bad luck. The principal thread running through these stories is the courage of the participants in the face of adversity.
This book takes the formula and theme of Last Stand to the high seas: 14 epic stories of famous and unknown actions where crews and warships faced overwhelming odds, but snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The book goes back over 400 years.
