‘...an easy-to-read style and gives a good impression of life in the Navy at that time. ... There are many interesting stories and anecdotes ... covering some 60 years... all written in a colourful and engaging style. ... Anyone with an interest in naval and social history ... will find it a very good read’. Naval Historical Review |

'...compelling memoir... ...full of glorious details. ...Bristow comes across as decent, serious, analytical and quietly heroic: a brave public servant doing a tough job.
