5.0 out of 5 stars Reeman's Best Yet!, 5 Feb 2002
By Dean S. Maclaughlin "dmacl25" (Boston MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: For Valour (Paperback)
For Valour invites comparison with The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monsarrat. Wars are fought by people, not machines and has been described as months of boredom and seconds of terror. Reeman captures all of this as well as the sheer exhaustion which must have set in among those who had survived several years of the war. The enemy was not only the German Navy, but the ocean and the cold of the arctic.

World War II was a war which involved the home front as well. The irony of sailors in harm's way losing families at home is portrayed well. The characters are human and vulnerable, and entirely believable. They have the courage to continue human involvements in the face of separation and loss. All in all, the book is immensely moving and a good description of human character. The technical details are informed and accurate, as in all of Reeman's novels.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rather a dis-jointed and unsatisfying read, 17 April 2001
By A. Perry-Smith (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: For Valour (Paperback)
In years gone by, Douglas Reeman would embroider and add value to his plots by clever and believable characterisiation that helped the whole story come alive. Now, however, the plots take a back seat to the characters with the result that you would be forgiven for thinking that you were reading a rather amateurish soap-opera with a disjointed and obscure plot hidden somewhere in the background. This one certainly wouldn't win any ratings wars.
