Cover subtitle: New Zealand merchant seafarers remember the war.
"Hell or high water includes stirring accounts of war at sea: the seamen who survived air and submarine attacks, some enduring days adrift in open lifeboats; an 18-year-old awarded the George Cross during the 1942 Pedestal convoy to relieve Malta; and others who spent years in Japanese prisons"--Back cover.
