Editorial Reviews
Synopsis
There is no more vivid and poignant account than one at first hand, and Editor Ian Hawkins has drawn together numerous stories from those men who served on the 'B' class destroyers and others, weaving them seamlessly together using excerpts from books, news articles, speeches and his own authoritative notes.

Destroyers
This is a very large compelation of first hand accounts by the people who were there. Taking each year of the war in turn it includes a very informative overview of the year by Admiral J.B.Hervey RN. A must for anyone interested in Naval history or just curious about life aboard ship. Added a personal touch to well documented history from the mess decks up. In a similar vein to Max Authur's 'Lost Voices of the Royal Navy'. Just make sure you've got plenty of time to read it, its nearly 600 pages long!
