Three Corvettes

Rating:
Summary: Great collection of short stories
Review: Originally published as "Monsarrat at Sea". It contains all his short stories about the sea: HM Corvette, East Coast Corvette, Corvette Command (all publ. during the war), HMS Marlborough Will Enter Harbor, Ship that Died of Shame, etc. Everything but "The Cruel Sea". Some stories are fiction, others are not, but they're all great tales told with eloquence, wit, style and substance. I read almost no fiction but this is one of my favorite books.
