Visually the exterior appearance is acceptable for a book of it's age, and even internally,the book is in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the exterior faults described that prevent a slightly higher grading.
A stand alone novel of wartime nautical fiction revolving around the German supply ship 'Deutschland' in August 1944,chronicling the challenges faced by the ship's crew through conflict and weather on a journey from the coast of Brazil,home to Kiel,Germany,5,000 miles across oceans dominated by the Allied navies.
Americans,Germans,British,lairds,prisoners, fishwives,admirals - all are drawn together in the desperate struggle against man's oldest and most implacable foe,the sea,as Jack Higgins once more demonstrates his mastery of story-telling on a grand scale.
