Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Will Not We Fear: The Story of His Majesty's Submarine "Seal" and of Lieutenant-Commander Rupert Lonsdale; by C. E. T. Warren and James Benson' authors of "Above Us the Waves", "The Admiralty Regrets"; with a Foreword by the Rev. R. P. Lonsdale; with eight plates in half-tone and three line drawings; George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd, London; first published in Great Britain 1961. From the blurb It was on a difficult and dangerous mine-laying mission in the Kattegat that H. M. Submarine Seal was involved in one of the strangest, most frightening, and in its own way, most heroically stirring adventures of the Second World War. The full story, based on eye-witness accounts and official records, is now told in dramatic detail by authors who were themselves submariners. Under the command of Lt.-Commander Rupert Lonsdale, the 1520-ton Seal neared her target area to find German Trawlers sweeping the shallow channel through which she must pass. Eventually, having laid her mines, Seal took refuge on the bottom, with all machinery stopped. On the way down she became entangled with a floating mine, which exploded, damaging her hull, flooding several compartments, and burying her stern in the mud. There was nothing for it but to await darkness before surfacing and making a run for it. This book, 228 pages, is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. A very collectible copy of a scarce book.…
