Hell or High Water: New Zealand Merchant Seafarers Remember the War
Author(s): Neill Atkinson
Drawn from interviews with the men who were there in the darkest days of World War II, Hell or High Water includes stirring accounts of war at sea: the seamen who survived air and submarine attacks, an 18-year-old awarded the George Cross during the 1942 Pedestal convoy to relieve Malta; and others who spent years in Japanese prisons.
