Leasor, James Boarding Party: The Last Action of the Calcutta
London William Heinemann 1978 0434410268 / 9780434410262 First Edition Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Foreword by the Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Spine cocked, jacket lightly scuffed. Index, photos. Author photo on rear jacket flap. This book is about a little known World War II episode in the former Portuguese colony of Goa on the Indian subcontinent. During WWII Portugal was neutral, and a German ship, the Ehrenfels, was situated in the Goan harbor. British intelligence found out that the ship was relaying information about Allied ships to German U-boats, who sunk an amazing 46 boats in one month in 1942. The Brits recruited a posse of middle-aged reservists from the Calcutta Light Horse, whose previous military exploits consisted of boozing and parading, to sabotage the Ehrenfels. The Germans believed their ship had come under attack by the Royal Navy and helped along by false communiques, they believed Goa would be invaded so they themselves blew up two other of their own ships to avoid capture. This adventure was later made into a 1980 film, The Sea Wolves, starring David Niven, Gregory Peck, Trevor Howard and Roger Moore. Ev; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 204 pages
