Book Overview

"This is not only one of the best of the war books, it is a record of cooperative courage achieved by a group of men in a manner wholly American."


At the outbreak of the Second World War U.S.S. Quail was in the Philippines sweeping mines to provide access for American shipping to South Harbor, Corregidor. Damaged by enemy bombs and guns during the Japanese invasion of the island, Lieutenant Commander John Morrill and his fellow men decided to make the decision to scuttle their ship rather than allow it to be captured. This led them to begin one of the most daring escapes of the Second World War.
