5.0 out of 5 stars Superb! 14 Sep 2008
By David Addison
Format:Paperback
This book details the experiences of ordinary men and women serving in the Royal Navy from 1914-45.I found it really interesting,as many accounts are told.The battle of Jutland,the disastrous Gallipoli affair.The harsh training one could expect.There's many stories from the inter-war years,that I knew nothing about.The Second World War experiences are excellently described.There are also many tales of heartbreak and tragedy.Its a shame a lot of our younger generation don't have the same spirit today.Every one who told their story here,deserves to be saluted.

4.0 out of 5 stars fascinating insight 24 Nov 2010
By Mr. S. J. Isserlis
Format:Paperback
As a scholar of Naval history, I have found this to be a fascinating and informative book. The voices are redolent with a sense of time and rich in pathos and the joy of life even in the most appalling conditions.
Some brave and candid accounts of incidents both great and inglorious. Some stories that are clearly straight from the heart and others that have clearly been rehearsed and reworked for dramatic effect by the teller.

A great addition to my bookshelf!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost Voices of the RN 17 April 2012
By shipwreck
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As an Ex-RN Seaman this is one of the finest accounts of the Service I have ever read,the bravery of the RN and the bravery of the Royal Marines in their own words are staggering.
Once again you see how the ignorance of some Senior Commanding Officers refusing U-Boat protection can result in the loss of hundreds of lives and it can make you rage, but it's in the past now.
A truly great book
