Overview
Edward Young was an amateur yachtsman at the outbreak of World War II, and soon found himself, with many other well-bred volunteers, in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve. A skilled writer, his narrative remains one of the best accounts of submarine warfare.Editorials
Jon Latimer
As the first RNVR officer to hold an independent command during the Second World War, and as a highly decorated submarine commander, Young writes with a relish of his subject. He goes a long way towards overcoming one's disquiet at the nature of the job, writing with warmth and humour, so that it seems, well, almost enjoyable.— Osprey Military Journal
