The Wolf Hunt: U-Boat warfare in South African… di Justin Fox
Same ships, different tasks, as they convert from minesweeping to sub-hunting. Good story with a good cast of characters as we look into WW2 naval action on the Southern Coast of Africa. Looking forward to more from this author.
Interesting series about WW2 in a different part of the worldwide conflict-South Africa. Early days and makeshift weapons, fishing boats converted into mine sweepers. Good characters and a convincing plot get the series off to a good start.

Lieutenant Jack Pembroke had his ship sunk at Dunkirk, spent months in hospital with a badly broken leg, has PTSD, lost his mother to a bombing in London, and now is under his father the admiral's thumb commanding a group of minesweepers off the South African coast. To top it all off, too many of the locals hate the British and favor Hitler. What a mess! Good character development, plot, and outstanding depictions of the beauty of the area. I learned a lot while enjoying this tale!

This is an excellent collection of essays by various writers showing many faces of Cape Town. I liked that I could relate to them all even though many were new to me, an ex-Capetonian.
