Waves of Hate

A deep dive into the naval atrocities of World War II—from the sinking of hospital ships to the horrors of Japanese hell-ships.

Whilst researching his earlier book Sea Killers in Disguise, Tony Bridgland unearthed a rich stem of incidents at sea which happened during the two World Wars that shocked and surprised him. This book is the result of further in-depth study covering the Second World War. It reveals a long catalogue of atrocities perpetrated not just by Germany and Japan but, sensationally, by the British and her Allies.

Tony Bridgland’s meticulous research into a wide variety of incidents at sea makes for vivid and compelling, if uneasy, reading.
