This book encapsulates the life of a wartime submarine. It includes photographs and diary entries, log extracts and sailing orders and exciting personal accounts. Written by a relative of one of the crew, it gives a different flavour to that found in the several excellent books already published by wartime submariners, and now mostly out of print. It is also a salute to all World War Two submariners.
HMS Trooper's operational life lasted from commissioning on 29th August 1942 to her loss in mid-October 1943. Brief indeed.
The author was two when his half-brother was killed, and had he not become curious to know more about him, Trooper's story would have remained untold.
