In 1939, the world found itself facing another global conflict. Canadians across the country rushed to recruitment centres, determined to do their part and stop the Axis war machine. For one man, the son of a famous Ottawa architect, enlisting in the armed forces proved difficult. It wasn't his health, height, or experience that had recruiters reluctant to admit him - he was too old. But Thomas G. Fuller wasn't the type to quit. He pushed back and eventually received a commission in Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve. Fighting with British Coastal Forces, Fuller would end up seeing more combat than arguably any other Commonwealth naval officer and become one of the most highly decorated Canadians of the Second World War. A gritty, tough, and tenacious commander, he would become a naval legend - a man the enemy feared and called a Pirate.
Foreword by Ted Barris CM, Bestselling Author of Battle for the Atlantic: Gauntlet to Victory
"Being a naval officer himself, Sean Livingston is well qualified to tell the intriguing story of one of the Royal Canadian Navy's most interesting figures. This is an important book and a great read." - Gordon Laco, HCapt(N) Naval Advisor to GREYHOUND and many other historical dramas.
Sean Livingston captures the daring and heroic service of Canadian sailor Captain Thomas Fuller during the Second World War. A true hero in every sense of the word...Out of fear and respect the enemy called him "The Pirate of the Adriatic." - Roger Litwiller, Author and Canadian Naval Historian.
