Beckman, Morris, Atlantic Roulette (Brighton: Tom Donovan Publishing, 1996). Easily the best everyday account of a wartime voyage. Excellent.

Bennett, G. H. and R., Survivors (London: Hambledon Press, 1999). A very full account of Second World War merchant seafarer survivors.

Lane, Tony, The Merchant Seaman’s War (Manchester: University Press, 1990, and Liverpool: The Bluecoat Press, 1993)

‘The people’s war at sea: work-discipline and merchant seamen, 1939–1945’ in Scottish Journal of Labour History, 1995, pp61–86. Provides the only case study refutation of the ‘people’s war thesis’.

Thomas, R. Gabe, Milag: Merchant Navy Prisoners of War (Porthcawl: Milag Prisoner of War Association, 1995). A very detailed ‘warts and all’ account of the merchant seafarers POW camp, Milag Nord, in North Germany.

Woodman, Richard, Arctic Convoys 1941–1945 (London: John Murray, 1994)

There have been no thorough studies of merchant seafarers in the First World War. Books published during the war or soon thereafter are neither in print nor readily available.
