Mike Carlton
Dive! Australian Submariners At War
Wednesday 21st August 2024 - 7pm
Submariners are a special breed. Not for them a life on the ocean waves, the fresh air and sunshine of other naval sailors. With stealth and daring they go deep and dark, alone and unseen, in often dangerous waters. They sometimes call themselves the Silent Service, with good reason.
Submarines and the sailors who serve in them have been and remain the tip of the spear of Australia’s defences. For the first time, this is their unique story.
In a working life of more than fifty years, Mike Carlton is one of Australia's best-known media figures in radio, television and newspapers. Mike has had a life-long passion for naval history and is the author of Cruiser, First Victory, Flagship and The Scrap Iron Flotilla.
Books will be for sale on the night as well as signing by the author.
