Bitter Ocean is a masterful, authoritative account of perhaps the least-known major battle of World War II, the Battle of the Atlantic. British, Canadian, and American air and sea forces fought the German U-boats in this desperate battle, and prevailed—at a terrible cost.
In True Bearing, David Fairbank White has written a profoundly moving novel of human will which permits us to enter two romantic territories of urban scene, the harbor and the newsroom; he has also conjured up an enduring story of youth and inner expedition. True Bearing is a triumph of story telling delivered in keenly observed detail and scene.
