BAKER, Richard. The Terror of Tobermory: An Informal Biography of Vice-Admiral Sir Gilbert Stephenson, KBE, CB, CMG. 196p., illus., index. London: W. H. Allen, 1972. ISBN: 0491004095.

Admiral Gilbert “Monkey” Stephenson was an unorthodox, unpredictable and colourful personality who ran the training base HMS Western Isles at Tobermory with a unique style which earned him the eponymous title. Over 1000 escort vessels worked up there. Some seventy pages of this biography are devoted to his wartime career.
