- Description or summary of the audiobook: From September 1939 until the last days of the war in 1945 Ireland was host to a constant flow of casualties from the Battle of the Atlantic. Ireland's unique location, situated near the vital shipping lanes of the Western Approaches, placed the country in the immediate conflict zone once the war at sea began with the sinking of the British merchant liner Athenia on 3 September 1939, when 449 survivors were landed in Galway city. 'Neutral Shores' follows the story of how many merchant navy ships during the war were attacked and sunk by German U-boats and FW200 bombers, and their surviving crews left adrift on the hostile Atlantic Ocean in a desperate struggle for survival. For the fortunate ones sanctuary was found along Ireland's rugged Atlantic shores, where the local people took these men from the sea into their homes and cared for them without any consideration of their nationality or allegiances
