About this Item
8vo.pp.vi + 254. Authors note + black and white photographs and map endpapers. Original blue cloth hardcover with gold gilt lettering Original illustrated pictorial dustwrapper chipped at top and bottom of spine now protected else very good. This is the true story of the smallest and strangest campaign of the whole war, it took place on the North East coast of Greenland, 600 miles beyond the Arctic Circle, cut off from the rest of the world by the frozen sea for all but six weeks of the year, a land of great beauty and of peace undisturbed through the ages. Only 34 men were involved in it 19 on one side 15 on the other yet it has an effect and significance out of all proportion to its size. Is affect was on the battle of the Atlantic, which precipitated it; its significance lay in its perfect demonstration of the futility of war. For in this beautiful, remote Arctic setting, the passions of war were utterly out of place and could not be kindled. Here the attempt to make men kill one another broke down.
