In 1941, Glasgow was the starting point for one of the most amazing episodes of the war. Government officials, desperate for men to sail merchant ships to North America, enlisted convicts from Barlinnie Prison to form the ship's crew. This true story is quite simply a choice of death or glory, and it is based on first-hand accounts, the Captain's log and police records. No library descriptions found.
