Descripción

8vo., Second Edition, with portrait frontispiece and 8 plates on 6; handsomely bound in full navy crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt with anchor motif, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, ribbon marker, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. The collected edition of Monsarrat's well-known trilogy, first published in October 1945. The three constituent volumes - 'HM Corvette' (1942), 'East Coast Corvette' (1943) and 'Corvette Command' (1944) - are here reproduced in their entirety (but with fewer plates). Taken in sequence they provide a near-continuous record of Monsarrat's early wartime service; furthermore they contain much of the inspiration and context, and in several cases actual incidents, which reappear in his masterpiece 'The Cruel Sea'. This second edition carries a new Preface by the author giving an account of the works' genesis. Enser, p.120; Law 1010 (both recording the first edition).
