One of Our Submarines

By: Edward Young

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

Commander Edward Young (RNRV, DSO, DSC and Bar) started the war as an amateur yachtsman and finished it as a highly decorated submarine commander. Indeed, he was the first RNVR officer to hold independent command of a warship.

One of Our Submarines is his gripping and thrilling biography of his adventures below the waves, showing how officers had to transform themselves from amateurs into the equals and, at times, the superiors of the professionals in meeting the demands imposed upon them by war.

Critic reviews

“[Young] immortalized his distinguished war service as a submariner in the bestselling autobiography, One of Our Submarines . . . [a] gripping memoir.” The Guardian

"In the very highest rank of books about the last war. [Edward Young] writes beautifully, economically and with humour, and in the actions he commands he manages to put the reader at the voice-pipe and the periscope so that sometimes the tension is so great that one has to put the book down." The Sunday Times

Great story

Unique story from the perspective of a British submariner. I haven’t heard much about their involvement in the war and was happy to hear the story.

Bits and grits of life on a Brit WW2 sub

A pleasure, even if this is your first sub story. Perhaps especially good if you are familiar with US bosts
