Jim Carter

Welcome to my Bookshop page and store. Hearts of Steel is my first publication. It is based around the career of my great grandfather who served in the Royal Navy from 1918 to 1945. Military History has been a particular interest for me since I was a boy and therefore I would like to share the titles of the books that I have read and can thoroughly recommend.

Praise for 'Hearts of Steel'

“Captures the feelings of those on board during some of the darkest moments of the Second World War and I recommend it.”

David Hobbs, RAN Institute

“Jim Carter has spun an epic yarn, taking readers on a voyage of war and peace…”

Francis Beaufort, Warships IFR Magazine

"This book is a must read for anyone interested in Second World War British military history with a particular emphasis on the Royal Navy. A thoroughly researched and authentic account of life aboard a British naval warship during peacetime and at war during one of the most intense periods of Britains naval past. "

Ian Spreadbury

"If you think you know what the contribution of the Navy was into WW2 then think again. This book was a wonderful gift and trust me when you start reading it then it’s hard to put down."

James Wright

"Compelling reading and hard to put down once started! "
