Why Should Britain Tremble Chas Cooke

The Royal Navy's submarine flotilla is known as The Silent Service. Spending weeks and sometimes months beneath the oceans in a dangerous world where one mistake could bring about the loss of the entire crew, submariners are a breed apart. Chas Cooke spent thirteen years serving in the three main types of submarine in the Royal Navy's arsenal and in this book he tells of the camaraderie of those who serve together beneath the waves, of the strains such a life places on the submariner's family and the raucous and sometimes bizarre behaviour of those who spend their lives in a steel tube many hundreds of feet under the water. Why Should Britain Tremble - A Submariner's Tale is a sometimes bawdy, often comical and occasionally heartwrenching story of the submariner's life.
