If the Gods are Good: The Epic Sacrifice of HMS Jervis Bay

Summary: Epic Story, Great Book
Review: The story of the HMS Jervis Bay is the modern day tale of a David verus Goliath-like battle between this convoy escort and the mighty German pocket battleship, Admiral Scheer. Because of the bravery and determination of the Jervis Bay's Captain, E.S. Fogarty Fegen, and of her crew, the majority of the convoy that this ship was escorting was able to make it to its final destination, thereby delivering much needed supplies to a war torn Great Britain. All were heroes whose story deserved to be told. Both authors have done a magnificant job recreating the action that took place on that fateful day. They have really done justice to the men of the HMS Jervis Bay. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in WWII or in naval history. I gurantee that the reader will not be disappointed.

Summary: The best book of it's type I've ever read !!
Review: What makes this book so exciting is that it tells a World War II story I was not aware of. And it is so beautifully written that I had trouble putting it down. No reader who loves a true tale of wartime courage will be disappointed

Summary: Amazing Story Finally Given Life!
Review: While I was aware of some of the Jervis Bay story, the authors bring several new parts of it to life. These include the comments by the King and Prime Minister Churchill, the epilogue part about the German spy aboard one of the convoy vessels, and the most important part, the crew's details of the battle against the Admiral Scheer. The authors have written the story in such an exciting and commanding style that I had to finish the book in one sitting. Can't wait for the movie, as the men of the Jervis Bay deserve more recognition. Congratulations to the authors!
