Reseña del libro "Lifeline Across the Sea: Mercy Ships of the Second World war and Their Repatriation Missions (en Inglés)"

Telling the gripping story of the mercy ships of the Second World War, this is the first book to identify and describe in detail all the ships engaged in the repatriation of wartime diplomats, civilians, and prisoners Behind the scenes during the Second World War, agreements were negotiated for wounded or gravely ill prisoners and “Protected Personnel”—diplomats, clergy, civilians, and alien internees—to be safely exchanged, a little-known dimension of the war. Conducted under the International Red Cross and neutral intermediaries, exchanges were arranged individually between Allied nations and the Axis belligerents. A group of 50 ships, in special livery, were uniquely engaged in this highly dangerous work, sailing through hostile waters alone and undefended, and conspicuously illuminated at night. Constantly at risk of attack by submarine and aircraft, their safety depended on the transmission and receipt of “safe passage” commands to the armed units in their paths. This book describes these special ships and details the exchange operations they took part in.
