I’ve long held an avid interest in the annals of Arctic exploration and was privileged to count as a friend Orlogskaptajn Tonny Larsen of the Danish Navy who shared some of his personal experiences during service in this unforgiving environment. Trevor Ware’s book, the result of extensive research, is both an erudite and compelling tribute to Sir William Edward Parry RN, the original Arctic hero. Sadly, his achievements have largely been forgotten today but with the publication of this book hopefully that may change. It illuminates not only Parry’s four Arctic expeditions but also his varied later career including his support for John Franklin’s final attempt to locate the North West Passage. Ware’s book is a fascinating read, enhanced by the inclusion of extensive notes and a comprehensive bibliography.'

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars This volume features some of the beautiful and illuminating artworks created by the artists who traveled with European explorers. It also includes excerpts of the writings of the explorers. These histories are fascinating but often horrifyingly colonialist. It's a startling look into the minds of the Europeans of this era.

This book was truly a haunting, and vivid description of life aboard the HMS Royal Oak, and the lives destroyed by a torpedo attack by a German submarine. As I read this book, it was hard to not go back and look at the faces of the men that were stationed aboard this vessel, and the tragic loss of life that occurred. Absolutely a fantastic and devastating read.

This book covers the short life of the submarine Turbulent from building to her loss. It is a story containing controversy surrounding the sinking of an Italian merchant ship, the Nino Bixio that was carrying Allied prisoners of war. There are excellent photographs that have been located of the Turbulent and her crew which gives the book a more human touch.
