THE SEA HAWK Historical Novel by Rafael Sabalini Armed Services Edition 812

Description: ELEMENTAL in its record of unrepressed loves and hates is the story of how Sir Oliver Tressilian, Cornish gentleman and sometime commander of one of Her Majesty's ships which dispersed the Spanish Armada, became a follower of Mahmud, and a Barbary corsair—winning for himself the title of Sakr-el-Bahr: Hawk of the Sea. He adopts the picturesque Barbary costume and becomes a favorite of the Basha. Finally on a captured Spanish ship he invades the coast of England and carries away the girl whose love for him has been poisoned by falsehood and whose unforgiving hate had kept him from returning to his home. To save her from the harem of the Basha, he defies his commander, and determines on escape. Undoubtedly this is one of the most dramatic moments in any of Mr. Sabatini's books. The store of the Sea-Hawk's subsequent adventures makes a superb and thrilling epic of romance. The Sea-Hawk is a book of fierce, bright color and amazing adventure, through which stalks one of the truly great and masterful figures of romance. This special edition of THE SEA-HAWK by Rafael Sabatini, has been mile available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston.
