W. MacNeile Dixon's 'The Fleets Behind the Fleet' illuminates the often-overlooked contributions of the British Merchant Service during times of war. While their heroism may never be fully documented due to the scattered nature of their journeys, their skill and devotion to duty in the face of danger are undeniable. Dixon argues that the merchant sailors and fishermen, as builders of the British empire, are an integral part of Britain's national strength. 'The Fleets Behind the Fleet' explores the history of the merchant service, from their vital role in the shipping industry to their bravery during wartime.
