There can have been few, if any, naval officers who saw so much action as Alec Dennis, who served in four destroyers; HMS \u003ci\u003eGriffin\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSavage\u003c\/i\u003e initially before commanding \u003ci\u003eValorous\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTetcott\u003c\/i\u003e. Commander Dennis was mentioned in dispatches three times (Norway, sinking the \u003ci\u003eScharnhorst\u003c\/i\u003e, and in the North Sea) and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (Greece 1942).\u003cp\u003eHis war service also included the important but little-known Madagascar operation, the Malta and Arctic convoys, and D-Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor all the danger and action, Dennis recorded his remarkable experience with a light, even irreverent, touch and, as a result, his memoir is not just a brilliant account of one man's war at sea but an extraordinarily good read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naval Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033443746032,"sku":"9781526718495","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781526718495_p0.jpg?v=1763739450","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781526718495","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
