In the lead-up to the Second World War, Ashe Lincoln, a junior
barrister, had enlisted in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve as a
Sub-Lieutenant. On the outbreak of war he became determined to serve at
sea and was posted to minelayers. But a mysterious midnight summons sent
him hurrying from his ship to the Admiralty in London and a top-secret
conference presided over by Winston Churchill.Ashe Lincoln soon found
himself pitting his wits against brilliantly skilful German scientists
and technicians. These were the men Hitler had entrusted to devise
secret underwater weapons sea mines and torpedoes of new and often
unsuspected types to destroy Britains seapower and starve its population
into surrender. The part that Ashe Lincoln played in this battle had
been decided upon because he was a naval officer who combined legal
training with a specialist knowledge in this particular aspect of naval
warfare.In time, Lincoln began a key figure in a small group in the
Admiralty whose exploits have been almost forgotten. He found himself in
extraordinary situations, including crouching on a bleak Scottish
hillside dealing with the first parachute mine knowing that Goering had
boasted that no-one would live to do this. His story is a remarkable
blend of deductive enterprise and courage.
