McKay is torn as well betwen his wife, Rita McKay - who once loved Kemble and now longs to see him destroyed - and Lucy Kemble, Rita's sister and Kemble's wife, who is the secret rule of his tormented soul.
From the Solomon Islands to the Aleutians, from liberty ports in Australia to the deadly skies over Okinawa, 'Time and Tide' is a spellbinding wartime voyage into the darkest hours of our century... a masterwork of action and human drama.
