This memoir is perhaps one of the most immediate and vivid
recollections of life in a Royal Navy battlecruiser to come out of
World War I. John Muir, a surgeon, was the senior medical officer
aboard HMS Tiger from her commissioning in October 1914 until his
departure in the autumn of 1916 when she was then undergoing
repairs at Rosyth to the damage incurred at the battle of Jutland
in June that year. Vivid, authoritative, empathetic and beautifully
written, this memoir takes the reader right to the center of the
action in the first years of the war. But more than a narrative of
events, his story is also one about the officers and men who were
his comrades in those years; about their qualities, their anxieties
and the emotional dimension of their experiences. His insights are
those of a man trained to understand the human heart, and they
bring vividly to life a generation of men who fought at sea more
than one hundred years ago. This is a spellbinding and gripping
memoir, brought to a new audience in a handsome collectors' edition
for the first time since its publication in 1936.
