What a good book. I listened to it while driving, and it took me right to the Atlantic in the beginning of WWII. It's a story of a sinking of a Merchant Marine ship and her crew, but also of the German captain who sank her and what made him tick. I loved the story while on the Jolly boat, and the survival of her small crew.
I really liked that Carr tidied up the end by telling us how everyone turned out, and how the war crime tribunal ends. Very good book.... maybe not a good one to read just before going on a cruise!
