Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1st Wordsworth Edition. Paperback. The Navy at War. 1939-1945. The author writes with the same simplicity and ease whether he is describing the movement of ships in a single action or the relation of a whole campaign to the strategy of total war. The narrative is thrilling and the analyses clear: Roskill describes the major sea battles such as the River Plate and Matapan as well as the characteristic convoy actions of the Battle of the Atlantic, Murmansk and Malta. He covers the contribution made by British technology in the shape of the Asdic and Radar but the story is, above all, about the courage and skill of the officers and men who made the victory possible. Illustrated. 480 pp.
