Nicholas Monserat book
I've seen the movie a few times, thought I would read Nicholas Monserats book the film was based on. Monserat had the experience of war on a Corvette like the Compass Rose, as he served on a flower class corvette himself, HMS Campanula.Read full review

For anyone who wished they had joined The Royal Navy.
If you like the sea, and enjoy a good read this is for you. It tells a tough story in a very realistic way with a good start and and a good end.
