À propos de cet audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

Film tie-in originally published as The Good Shepherd.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks.

It's 1942. America have just joined the war.

Greyhound, an international convoy of 37 allied ships, is in operation. As Captain Ernest Krause leads his first command of a US destroyer, the convoy ploughs through icy, submarine-infested North Atlantic seas.

All the while hotly pursued by wolf packs of Nazi U-boats.

Grappling with his newfound superiority and haunting self-doubt in 48 hours of desperate peril, Captain Krause's hopeless mission is doomed to fail.

But armed with extraordinary courage and grit, hope may just be on the horizon....

©1955 C.S. Forester (P)2020 Penguin Audio 20e siècle Fiction Fiction de genre Historique Sous-marin U-Boat Militaire Guerre

,Not sure a movie could be made as so much of the story is the Captain' internal thoughts. Forester has written a great book again.

Terrific book

Captivating story. Offers an insight to an often overlooked battle of WWII. And highlights the contributions of the RCN.
A great companion to the movie.

Amazing

The story goes on and on about the procedure to protect convoys during the war, but after I got the gist of what was required, the rest of the book just goes on and on

Boring
