Kruté moře je kniha o válce v Atlantiku. Kapitán Ericson a první důstojník Lockhart pak představují ty, na jejichž bedrech tato válka spočívala – profesionály i dobrovolníky, kteří přišli na moře z různých koutů britského impéria i z nejroztodivnějších povolání. Hlásili se, nedostatečně připraveni, na palubách špatně vyzbrojených lodí určených k doprovodu konvojů s životně důležitými zásobami. Jednou z nich, novým typem eskorty, byla i korveta Compass Rose, na níž zvládali základy námořní praxe a procházeli její vyšší školou. Válka byla přísný učitel, který neodpouštěl chyby a trestal ihned a nemilosrdně. Situace prvních let byla otřesná – slabá organizace konvojů, mnohonásobná převaha nepřítele, obrovské ztráty. Moře vybíralo denně krutou daň, a ani na břehu nebyli lidé ušetřeni. Jen pomalu a bolestně se rodil účinný obranný systém, mohutnělo loďstvo, zlepšovala se výzbroj a výstroj. Poměr sil se zvolna měnil. Měnily se i vztahy mezi lidmi. Osobní kontakty z prvních let války, tolerance k prohřeškům, citlivý přístup k problémům jedince – to všechno muselo ustoupit ve jménu vítězství. Cesta k němu byla vroubena stovkami potopených lodí, desetitisíci mrtvých námořníků, jejichž protivníkem byla celých šestapadesát měsíců nepřátelská letadla, bitevní lodi, ponorky skryté pod hladinou Atlantiku i moře samo.
