Description

Very Ordinary Seaman by J. P. W Mallalieu.This is a story of stark, unrelenting realism. No mock heroics, no stiff upper lips, no phoney blood and guts but a fierce, alive portrayal of real men engaged in the holocaust of war. ' When I wrote this book, I had just come in from sea. My memories, hot or cold, were vivid, the stuff came pouring out, I seldom paused for a fact or to marshal a thought. So Very Ordinary Seaman is no artistic masterpiece. It was intended to be , and mainly is, a report of what happened in the long course of a few short months. Many people, even among those who did not serve in the Royal Navy, have found that the experience embodied here has tallied with their own; and so in 1963 they are continuing to buy a very ordinary book which was written in 1942. I am grateful', From the preface by the author.
