Rise And Fall Of The Soviet Navy In The Baltic
This is the story of the British liner S.S. City of Benares. Torpedoed by a German submarine in the north Atlantic over 600 miles from Briton. The prized passengers on the City of Benares were children being transported to Canada to escape the war and constant air raids. They would go there for a better safer life away from war, this was the plan. But due to a German U boat, this would not come to pass.
This story is one I won't soon forget! It was sad in parts, but tells a story of great courage, heroism, and perseverance on the water! It tells the triumph of the human spirit in circumstances most of us hope to never find ourselves in, and have no clue what we'd do in such a situation. This book has true miracles in it, and it reminds me that there are truly wonderful people that walk this earth. Among all the bad we hear to read about such people is refreshing to me! This was a great book! I am not sure I can do it justice in this review, but I would totally recommend it! Some books are so touching and leave you with so much, that words aren't enough to describe it all. The only thing that truly can is the book itself! Well written, a great book!
