Alistair MacLean – HMS Ulysses – First UK Edition 1955
£175.00
A first edition, first printing published by Collins in 1955. A near fine book without inscriptions in a near fine unclipped wrapper with a little soiling to the rear panel. Edges a little rubbed. A very nice copy indeed.
MacLean’s experiences in the Royal Navy during World War II provided the background and the Arctic convoys to Murmansk provided the basis for the story, which was written at a publisher’s request after he’d won a short-story competition the previous year.
