A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 236pp. The story of the Laconia, a cruise ship requisitioned as a troop carrier in the Second World War which was sunk by a German U-Boat in 1942 with the loss of almost 2,000 lives, many being Italian prisoners of war.
