Description: "PORTAIT OF SOCRATES being THE APOLOGY, CRITO and PHAEDO OF PLATO in English Translation" with introduction and notes by R W Livingstone, published by Michael Joseph, London, in 1955 - first edition. Hardback book without a dust jacket. Review by GoodReads: "This is a gripping and fast-moving read, about a US Navy destroyer captain on an Atlantic convoy at an early time in WWII. He's the senior captain among the Allied escorts, facing battle with a German U-boat wolfpack, in a stormy ocean. The book seems true to the naval technology and onboard life at the time, and spares us little of the discomforts and hardships of life on these small warships. It's not C.S. Forester's greatest work, but worthy enough, a tense narrative, and can stand with The Cruel Sea or HMS Ulysses as a rousing account of the heroism and dangers of the Battle of the Atlantic. Very much worth reading now that the Tom Hanks film "Greyhound", based on this book, is now out." CONDITION: This secondhand book is in very good condition with light reading and shelf-wear - name and date on front endpaper plus "St Paul's School" stamp impressions and a Foyles bookshop label. There is no dust jacket. Please refer to the pictures SIZE (all approx): 19x14x2cm, 200 pages, 350g before packing.
