  Vice Admiral Sir Peter Gretton's book is a brilliant account of his career in the navy through World War Two: fighting in the Second Battle of the Narvik and guarding convoys in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, before being placed in charge of Escort Group B7, which he described as "the finest job in the Navy for a new commander." It was in this role that Gretton, and the seven warships under his command, were able to make their contribution to turning the tide against the U-boat threat. 
   
   
   
  On April 22, 1943, Gretton was in charge of the escort for Convoy ONS 5 during its journey across the North Atlantic. Over the course of the voyage they were attacked by over fifty U-boats, and although they lost thirteen ships they managed to sink six U-boats and seriously damage many more. The U-boats had never faced such fierce resistance to their lethal raids. What tactics had Gretton used to fend off Doenitz's terrifying submarine wolf packs? And how had these strategies developed over the course of the war? 
   
   
   
  Convoy Escort Commander demonstrates how Allied commanders searched for new methods to repel U-boat assaults, including using direction-finding radio and radar, employing special tactical formations, coordinating with air cover, and endeavoring to keep the convoy together and prevent straggling.

He speaks from firsthand experience about by embracing 3- golden rules is the only way for a person to not turn to a life of crime ever in his straight-talk audiobook, “From Good To Bad, Then To Good Forever.” Also, check out Dexter’s other personal growth workshop book, “Hey! Are You Train Ready?,” and his two ultimate self-help guidebooks, “I’m Train Ready!”, and “Walk From Bad To Better, Then Run From Good To Great! (Written by him and co-author wife Raphaela Ray)." 
  Inside this audiobook, Dexter talks about in the year of 2011 after a day of bloody riots inside of a Georgia prison during his 16th year of incarceration led a warden to ask him to do a drawing of a train showing men going from bad to good, and this inspired Dexter to change his life.  Also, inside this audio book Dexter explains in detail his experiences that we all go through at some point in life when we have to rise after we’ve taken a hard fall as a result of bad decisions that sometimes can be life-changing moments, or when life deals us a terrible hand that makes us stop and change directions from living a life of crime to forever living as a law-abiding citizen and productive member of society. However, there is only one way to do this and that’s to embrace the 3- golden rules found inside this audiobook. They have been tested and proven to be whole-heartedly true and a solid contributing factor to his forever freedom.
