Torpedoes, Tea, and Medals by Chris Oflaherty
Whilst Hitler's U-Boats were torpedoing shipments of tea bound for Great Britain, Jake Wright reciprocated by torpedoing Axis coastal shipping off Europe. This is the life story of a determined, brave and innovative individual, who went from a tea trade trainee to a highly decorated naval officer.
Jake Wright clearly had a really action-packed war and this book skilfully combines his coastal forces experiences with his influential role in the tea business* The Naval Review *
