Summary
Poems are accompanied by the author's reminiscences of visits to Tallinn, Hamburg, Oslo, and Bergen, and his experiences as a sailor in the Royal Navy fifty years ago
(view table of contents)Amazon.com description: Product Description: As a very young naval officer at the end of World War II, Alan Ross had the job, with a handful of even younger marines, of delivering a surrendered German U-boat into Russian hands in Tallinn. The German crew were inevitably reluctant to submit to this order, but Ross prevailed and he saved their lives. Almost half a century later, he goes back to Tallinn to complete a strange friendship that had in the interim developed with the U-boat commander. This revisitation of an old memory is the opening of the fourth volume of memoirs of Alan Ross. The earlier books include "The Emissary", "Coastwise Lights" and "After Pusan".
