What is In all respects ready : the Merchant Navy and the Battle of the Atlantic, 1940-1945 about?

The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest, most unremitting - and perhaps the most crucial - campaign of World War II. Most of Europe had quickly fallen to the Nazi's, and Britain's defiance was not expected to withstand the imminent invasion. It was the Allied Merchant Navy that formed the fragile lifeline carrying vital supplies of food, munitions and fuel through waters prowled by an enemy bent on cutting the slender thread. Without those convoys, Britain could not have survived. IN ALL RESPECTS READY tells, in human terms, of the little-known struggle of a handful of Canadians to help keep the Allied Merchant Navy afloat, both physically and psychologically, during those dark days. It tells the story of the merchant seamen who repeatedly faced death for six long years and by whose deeds victory was made possible.
