The story of men who rose to heroism, and then to something greater, HMS Ulysses takes its place alongside The Caine Mutiny and The Cruel Sea as one of the classic novels of the navy at war.It is the compelling story of Convoy FR77 to Murmansk – a voyage that pushes men to the limits of human endurance, crippled by enemy attack and the bitter cold of the Arctic.

This was a tough read. Not because it was a poor book but because it is pretty relentless in its portrayal of events.
I can only give it a three because, as a complete landlubber, I did struggle to understand the many ship and nautical terms and to paint anything like a clear picture of the layout of the HMS Ulysses.
