First Edition. Hardback. No Dust Jacket. 8vo. pp 348. Original publisher's purple / blue cloth letterd in gilt at spine. Controversial work, never banned but not reprinted until 1968 after CM's death: It "caused a storm in naval circles where it was seen as either wildly untrue or deeply disloyal, or both. The Admiralty had to deal with communications from the parents of midshipmen enquiring if it was an accurate assessment of life in the gunroom" (Laura Rowe, Morale and Discipline in the Royal Navy during the First World War, Cambridge University Press, 2018., p. 28) A little tanned and sun faded at spine else sound VG copy.
