Ray Parkin's Wartime Trilogy : Out of the Smoke; Into the Smother; The Sword and the Blossom

Editorial Reviews
Economist, on Out of the Smoke
'. . . a deeply moving tale of self-imposed discipline and unyielding resolution in the face of the most daunting difficulties . . . If Mr Parkin never writes another word he will have given the world something truly memorable in this humbly told tale about the ship that he loved and the ordeal that he and his comrades underwent after she was lost.'

Max Harris, Australian
' . . . probably the finest POW writing in English.'
