Just over a million people - 923,000 men and 86,000 women - served in the Royal Navy in the Second World War. The training of these men, and the women of the WRNS, was a major task in wartime Britain. This was to be the first real citizen navy, the only one in history apart from the US Navy and Commonwealth navies in the same conflict. Based on official documents, as well as personal accounts by people such as Evelyn Waugh, Nicholas Monsarrat, Tristan Jones and JPW Mallalieu, this book tells one of the major untold stories of the Second World War.
