This review is from: The Sea Wolves (Paperback)

I read this good book, here in Brazil.This book is about how a group of english patriots invades four ships of nazi Germany and Italy.This happened in Goa, India, in 1943.One of these ships had a radio station to support german submarines, sinking ships in Indic ocean.The operation was a complete sucess;the sten sub-machinegun was used and had some failures in action.This book also tells about what happened among people involved in action(including the germans), after World War II.This book is also short and easy to read.Even so, this book has a great problem:the author himself recognizes, that he changed many names and a few facts of reality, to protect the patriots, that did this operation.Having fictions in a reality, I prefer a book 100% real, instead a book such as this, with some fiction, in a real history.
