Allied Seafarers in the Second World War Rosendahl Bjorn Tore Paperback
Hundreds of thousands of seafarers made a significant contribution to the Allied war effort in the Second World War. This is the first time the history of the seafarers from most of the Allied maritime nations has been gathered to one anthology. Seafarers of different nationalities sailed with different nations' merchant fleets, with risks comparable to servicemen in the armed forces.
The history of Chinese and Indian seafarers on Allied ships is also explored, together with more general topics, such as coastal convoys and surveillance of seafarers. The multinational contributors of this anthology share their insights on the history of seafarers in the merchant fleets of the USA, Great Britain, Norway, the Netherlands, Greece, and Yugoslavia. The variety of articles in this book underlines the value of collecting the history of a broad spectrum of nationalities of both ships and crews.
