Review

Guy Hartcup writes a new book here based on the technical means developed by the British during World War II. Through this book, he develops a scientific manner of the creation, installation, and the influence of artificial harbors, on the victorious ally in Western Europe. Many sketches and drawings embellish the text. The author explains the impact of weather conditions (tides, storms, bad weather...) on these two ports as one of the two ports as one of the two, american sector, did not resist the severe storm that hit the coast to mid-June 1944. - 39/45 Magazine
