On 13 January 1942 hundreds of army and air force servicemen due to
sail from Durban on the British troopship City of Canterbury
refused to board the vessel in defiance of their commanders and of
the British Military and Naval authorities in South Africa. Gerry
Rubin sees this unusual and dramatic incident in the round. Besides
examining the legal case itself, its precedents and its outcome, he
looks at both the human factors involved and at the wider
background. In so doing he deals with a little-mentioned aspect of
the war but one familiar to hundreds of thousands of servicemen:
the journey by troopship via the Cape to the Middle and Far
East.
