HMS Ulysses Alistair Maclean Collins, London, 1955. FIRST EDITION. AUTHOR'S FIRST BOOK. Jacket price-clipped & in protective cover, with some minor chips to edge (no tears). Some spotting to page edge front otherwise clean & tight (no lean). Rare to find in high grade jacket. The story of men who rose to heroism, and then to something greater, 'HMS Ulysses' takes its place alongside 'The Caine Mutiny' and 'The Cruel Sea' as one of the classic novels of the navy at war. It is the compelling story of Convoy FR77 to Murmansk -- a voyage that pushes men to the limits of human endurance, crippled by enemy attack and the bitter cold of the Arctic.
