Richard Woodman is well known for his Nathaniel Drinkwater series, ten other sea stories, a "History of the Ship" and a work on sea-power in the Napoleonic Wars. In "Malta Convoys," he continues his study of British maritime services in the Second World War that he began in "Artic Convoys," published to wide critical acclaim in 1994. Born in London in 1944, Richard Woodman first went to sea in 1960. His maiden deep-water voyage, aboard the cargo liner Glenartney sparked an interest in the subject of this book. He spent over thirty years at sea and has extensive experience of command and operational planning. He now writes full-time and is a regular contriubtor to "Lloyd's List."
