Synopsis

Writing as himself, Douglas Reeman spins a marvellous and enthralling yarn of the sea in The Volunteers. He also writes as his pen author Alexander Kent; author of the bestselling Bolitho adventures. They were the men and women of the Royal Navy's Special Operations units. Carrying out lightning raids on hostile coasts, they became a navy within a navy - each hand-picked for their individual skills, and all of them courageous. Against the mighty backdrop of World War II they performed their small but deadly operations - living often beyond hope, sometimes beyond mercy. This is the dramatic story of a handful of such people - The Volunteers.
