MONSARRAT, NICHOLAS Breaking In-Breaking Out: An Autobiography
New York William Morrow & Co. 1971 Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
542 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dj, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the dj: Few novelists have led the sort of life that makes a great story. Nicholas Monsarrat - one of the world's most successful authors - has, and he tells it here with complete candor, lavishing on it all the craftsmanship and narrative and sensuous appeal he brings to his fiction. For example, the stunning sequence here describing convoy duty in the North Atlantic in 1941 attains all the power of its fictional parallel, The Cruel Sea.

Monsarrat, Nicholas H. M. Corvette
Philadelphia J. B. Lippincott Company 1943 Hardcover Very Good-
169 pages, cloth, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the Wikipedia website: "Commander Nicholas John Turney Monsarrat RNVR (22 March 1910 - 8 August 1979) was a UK novelist best known today for his sea stories, particularly The Cruel Sea and Three Corvettes. ~ Though a pacifist, Monsarrat served in World War II, first as a member of an ambulance brigade and then as a member of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. His lifelong love of sailing made him a capable naval officer, and he served with distinction in a series of small warships assigned to escort convoys and protect them from enemy attack. Monsarrat ended the war as commander of a frigate, and drew on his wartime experience in his postwar sea stories. ~ The Cruel Sea (1951) , Monsarrat's first postwar novel, is widely regarded as his finest work, and is the only one of his novels that is still widely read. Based on his own wartime service, it followed the young naval officer Keith Lockhart through a series of postings in corvettes and frigates. It was one of the first novels to depict life aboard the vital, but unglamorous, "small ships" of World War II-ships for which the sea was as much a threat as the Germans. Monsarrat's short-story collections H. M. S. Marlborough Will Enter Harbour (1949) , and The Ship That Died of Shame (1959) mined the same literary vein, and gained popularity by association with The Cruel Sea. The similar Three Corvettes (1945 and 1953) comprising H. M. Corvette (Flower class in the North Atlantic) , East Coast Corvette (as First Lieutenant of HMS Guillemot) and Corvette Command (as Commanding Officer of HMS Winger) is actually an anthology of three true-experience stories published by him during the war years and shows appropriate care for what the Censor might say. Thus Guillemot is Dipper and Shearwater is Winger in the book. 'H M Frigate' is similar but deals with his time in command of two Frigates. " PM360 ; Ex-Library; 169 pages
