One U-boat against one destroyer would have been a fair - if deadly - match. But Captain John Murrell's H.M.S. Hecate was towing a crippled tanker whose cargo was as dangerous as it was precious - four million gallons of high-octane gas! The U-boat commander was desperate: his career depended on sinking the tanker. If he failed, the Luftwaffe would send new long-range Heinkels to destroy the Hecate and her tow. Murrell's cunning fight against incredible odds soon became a nightmarish eternity of cat-and-mouse moves and countermoves. His agonizing duel to the death makes this one of the most brilliant and memorable sea sagas to come out of World War II.
