Publisher's Synopsis
British Naval Lieutenant William Henden's World War One diary tells how he joined the H.M.S. TREGARON in 1914. A fairly circumspect officer and a teetotaller, he only admits to the occasional dance with the ladies. He describes the Battle of Jutland, near misses by German U-boats, surviving rough weather, and other exciting facets of life onboard ship. German Naval Lieutenant Erik Von Rall's World War One diary describes his confidence in German Naval superiority, his supreme assurance in his own superiority, and his love for a woman. Then Rall's tumultuous love affair takes a surprising turn and he discovers what really matters in his life. These two very different men will be drawn towards each other as if by Destiny - on a collision course to understanding the commonality of all men.
