Dedicated to the ship's company of "La Moqueuse", this book is not
so much an account of naval operations as a kind of social history.
With the help of recollections, diaries and letters home, the
author recreates the reactions of an undergraduate to his various
incarnations as an ordinary seaman in a corvette, the most junior
officer on board a destroyer and the British naval liaison officer
in a Free French sloop. Roughly half of the book deals with the
very special atmosphere in the Free French forces and the complex
situation in southern France immediately after its liberation in
August 1944. The volume as a whole provides a vivid impression of
what it actually felt like to be involved in the day-to-day
experience of helping to make a warship work.
