	THIS is a re-issue, up-dated and much more fully illustrated, of the book first published in 1944 that released the hitherto top secret story of what is surely the most dramatic and inspiring shipwreck and rescue drama of all time. The story of the wrecking of the British passenger liner Dunedin Star and the eventual rescue of her more than 100 passengers and crew, at the cost of other lives, another ship, a big aircraft, a number of army trucks, etc., has become known to millions since this ‘Best Selling’ book was first published, and is generally accepted to be the peer of true adventure stories.

	From interviews with survivors, eyewitness testimony, historical resources and personal journals of the passengers, Jeff Dawson skilfully reconstructs the Dunedin Star’s doomed voyage, the terror of the wilderness and the painstaking rescue missions. From the grim waters of the North Atlantic to the blistering African wastes, he narrates a classic tale of courage, set against the background of World War II.
