AWAY ALL BOATS***Kenneth Dodson

Published by Angus & Robertson First printed November 1955 This edition January 1956

One of the great sea stories of all time. 'Away All Boats' tells the intimate and heroic life of an attack transport, USS Belinda. It tells of ships and men that went in under Naval bombardment, that landed marines in battle, that took them, wounded and dying, off the blasted beaches at Makin Island, Kwajalein, Saipan, and Lingayen Gulf.

One American critic said: "The Book will not make you forget The Caine Mutiny or The Cruel Sea. But if you liked them you will be fascinated by 'Away All Boats."

The dust jacket is torn and tatty but the book itself is fine, pages clean, strongly bound.
