A Merchant Fleet at War

Pages : 148
Book Description
This is a military history text that examines the historical record of the Great War. The very nature of many of the incidents recorded in the book precluded the preparation of detailed reports at the time. This book owes whatever merit it possesses to many individuals—captains, officers, engineers, pursers, and other ministers to British sea-power—who have assisted in its preparation, whether by recounting incidents in which they took part. The author of this historical book also explores the contribution which British seamen have made to the happiness and well-being of the world

The Fleets at War
Author: Archibald Hurd
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Written two years after the First World War, it is the story of the contribution which British seamen made for the prosperity and well-being of the world, a story that was never accounted for before. This is a tale of a merchant fleet of the day. The work aims to describe the height of technological achievement in marines of the time and the civilians who operated them, without whom the war could not have been fought in any way. These men worked in situations of negligence and difficulty that would terrify the modern reader. This thought-provoking work makes the reader consider that even though all these events happened a long time ago, one needs to remember the people who were a part of such brave acts and made this happen.

Engage the Enemy More Closely
Author: Correlli Barnett
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 9780571300396
Category : World War, 1939-1945
Languages : en
Pages : 1104
Book Description
The accepted interpretation of Britain's wartime role as an island sea power is challenged by Correlli Barnett's brilliant demonstration that the dependence on seashore imports of food and raw materials, together with the obligations of Empire, were less a form of strength to Britain than a weakness. Topics discussed in this book range from strategic debates in London and Washington to gripping descriptions of the Royal Navy in action: the remorseless struggle against the U-boat in the Atlantic, the desperate convoy battles in the Mediterranean and the Arctic, and the battles in the Far East. It weaves in the rivalry between Allied and German technology and the all-important secret war of the cryptographers. 'This outstanding military historian has turned to maritime war and written an authoritative, meticulously researched and stirring account of the Royal Navy's part in World War II.' Admiral of the Fleet Lord Lewin of Greenwich, KG, GCB, LVO, DSC
