I have just finished this book on the Canadian Navy. It is one man's rollocking memories of the operations of the canadian navy from 1939 to 1945. Not much review of high strategy here, this is the view from the wardroom! The author started as a midshipman, a 'snotty', and rose during the war to First Lieutenant, winning a Mention in Dispatches and a Distuinguished Service Cross along the way!

With a lot of photo's and a map of operations at both the front and the back of the hard coverd edition, this is a interesting book for the reader who enjoy's a personal memior of the war.
