This is his second book, the first of which was a biography of his own life called No Pain, No Gain. Having spent many years in the forces himself, he decided to tell the true story of his father’s exploits in the Royal Navy, spanning from 1929 until his discharge in 1951. The story tells of his father’s early naval service in the Gunboats on the Yangtze River in China and all through the Second World War, serving with the fighting 10th submarine flotilla in Malta in 1942 until his father’s death in 1984. He finally retired from his own career as a petroleum HGV1 tanker driver in 2002 due to ill health.lihat lebih sedikit
