About this audiobook

Winston Churchil wrote, "The Naval History of Britain contains no page more wonderful that that which records the prowess of her submarines at the Dardanelles." Based accurately on real events, 'Hellespont' is an eye-opening thriller about submarine operations in support of the 1915 Gallipoli campaign. On account of his penniless, rural background, Ted Crockford suffers every prejudice as he strives to become a naval officer. He and his colleagues in the nascent submarine service are reviled and rebuffed by their parent organisation, with the Royal Navy itself refusing to budge from centuries-old dogma as the threat from Germany intensifies. This new breed of warrior – the submariners in their diminutive and rudimentary submersibles – undertake an unimaginable mission to fight their way deep behind enemy lines and into the Sea of Marmara. But between them and their goal lies that historic and impenetrable barrier – Hellespont – described by Churchill as the “Jaws of Death”.
