One Submarine’s War Against the Axis is the extraordinary true story of HMS Triumph and her secret war in the Mediterranean between 1941 and 1942.
Far more than a tale of submarine attacks, it follows covert missions with SOE, MI6, MI9, the SBS and the newly formed Commandos across Greece, Crete, North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and Yugoslavia.
Written with the pace of a thriller, Gav Don (whose two part article HMS Triumph’s Last Day is right here on ww2stories.org) brings to life daring escapes, clandestine operations and the human stories behind the Mediterranean campaign – including Lt. John Atkinson and Jim Craig, captured during the fall of Greece before returning to occupied Athens as secret agents.
Triumph’s remarkable wartime career ended tragically in January 1942 when she vanished with all hands on one final mission before a promised return home. The discovery of her wreck by legendary diver Kostas Thoctarides in 2023 has finally allowed her last patrol – and her fate – to be reconstructed in unprecedented detail. Definitely worth reading!
One Submarine’s War Against the Axis is available from the Pen & Sword website, Amazon, and all good booksellers.
