The Silent Service

Action Stories of the Anzac Navy

by Torpedo-man T. M. Jones and Ion L. Idriess

Angus and Robertson, 1944, [First Edition], black and white photographic frontispiece, illustrated endpapers (maps), hardcover, dustjacket

Very Good Condition, a little edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, previous owners’ inscription on half title page, discoloration to covers; dustjacket shows a little edge and shelf wear with a little rubbing, bumping and chipping, small tears and creasing {see photographs)

“The part played by the navies of Australia and New Zealand in this war is here commemorated in a series of brilliant sketches that are worthy of the fine ships and the brave men they portray.  The authors have collected their data from the personal accounts of men who were in the ships concerned; and with the story-tellers art, they have woven the facts into a vigorous, full-blooded narrative.”
