So, please, buy one of our new Christmas gifts (or, even better, several!) from our Shop below, and not only will you be helping Nancy Blackett to last forever, but you’ll be treating yourself or a loved one to something unique at the same time:
Uncommon Courage
Uncommon Courage by Julia Jones
Uncommon Courage is the new World War II history by Julia Jones, which was the subject of her Brian Hammett Memorial Talk in March 2022.
The book details the exploits of yachtsmen such as Peter Scott, Maurice Griffiths, Ian Fleming and many others who joined the 'Royal Naval Volunteer Supplementary Reserve' at the outbreak of World War II. With no pay and no uniforms to begin with they used their sailing skills and initiative to assist the Navy in often unorthodox ways. The picture is built up mostly from their own diaries, letters, memoirs etc.
'From Childers to Monserrat via Chute and Maurice Griffiths. Julia Jones links the world of yachting, literature, the navy and war into an extraordinary account of heroism and sacrifice. An unexpected and important story, rivetingly told. Rip roaring stuff...' - Griff Rhys Jones
