Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (9s 6d), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks almost unread. 164pp. Set in the South China Seas, a young boy permitted to go on a submarine on a training run, finds his vessel involved in an international incident. By Lieutenant Commander Alastair Campbell Gillespie Mars, DSO, DSC and Bar (1915-85), who was a Royal Navy World War II submarine commander. After the war Mars was posted in 1946 to HMS Dolphin but was eventually assigned to a post in New Zealand, where his pay of $39 per week as a lieutenant commander proved inadequate to support him, his wife and his two children. The Royal Navy spent four years arguing over an extra living allowance before it was paid. With a sick wife, he was then assigned to Hong Kong where he was unable to afford even the single hotel room he rented. Becoming ill himself and heavily in debt, he returned to the United Kingdom and hospital. On his discharge he requested leave to try to put his finances in order but this was refused. He was ordered to report to Portsmouth but he wrote from his home in London to the Navy refusing to do so and requesting his retirement. He commented in his letter that 'I do not wish to plague My Lords with a mass of detail mainly repugnant to them. It should be sufficient to say that I have lost faith in the present governmental hierarchy and all that goes with it'. Mars entered politics as a parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Party at the 1950 General Election. He contested the constituency of Windsor, but finished third. Mars was arrested and court martialled for insubordination and absence without leave, which resulted in his dismissal from the Navy in June 1952. The controversy over his dismissal was the subject of a parliamentary question the following month, when the future prime minister James Callaghan asked the then First Lord of the Admiralty whether Mars would receive his pension, which eventually he did, pursuing a subsequent career as a successful author.
