Wong Over 120 first hand stories of life at sea with the Royal Navy from both men and women who served All taken from the Imperial War Museum's audio archive Major UK publicity and marketing campaign FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Edmund Wong grew up in San Francisco and as a young man enlisted in the US Navy andserved as a medic aboard an aircraft carrier. He has kept up an interest in the naval matters andship modelling, some of which are included in the book. Review "Wong has given us a great service. He has curated a collection of those narratives from sailors of the second war, and brought them to print. Along the way he has placed them in context with photographs and a reminder of the relevant historical events. The result is a book which is both readable and entertaining, even to the saltiest naval historian. . . . It should certainly be required reading for all new members of the Naval Service (officers and junior ratings, as well as all civil servants tasked with anything remotely naval), for it quietly narrates an ethos which appears now to be slipping away."-- "Naval Review" Long Description Over 120 first hand stories of life at sea with the Royal Navy from both men and women who served All taken from the Imperial War Museum's audio archive Major UK publicity and marketing campaign Review Quote "Wong has given us a great service.
