Admiral Ansel had access to German wartime records not generally available to scholars, and he interviewed many of the officers and men who participated in the battles he discusses. Hitler's capture of Crete in 1941 at first seemed to spell doom for Allied efforts in the Mediterranean. But instead of consolidating his gains there, Hitler soon after turned to the invasion of Russia. His failure to concentrate on the possibilities of a Mediterranean strategy helped turn the tide of World War II. This highly readable account of the battle of the Mediterranean is presented against a background of the ever~shifting plans and struggles for power of Hitler himself and the German High Command. A new focus is provided to this particularly fascinating segment of the war. Rear Admiral Walter Ansel, U.S.N. (Ret.), served as Operations Officer of landing attack forces in the invasions of Northwest Africa and Sicily in World War II. During operations against Italy and Southern France, he commanded the U.S.S. Philadelphia. His earlier book, Hitler Confronts England, was called by The Times Literary Supplement "one of the most impressive of all the books that have so far dealt with the Second World War, and a distinguished piece of work without limitation of subject.". …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A 1918 graduate of the Naval Academy, Admiral Ansel served on convoy escort duty in the closing months of World War I. He had a variety of duties in the interwar years, including study of amphibious warfare, service on board the cruiser USS Milwaukee (CL-5) and at the Naval Academy, and command of the destroyer USS Bulmer (DD-222) and Destroyer Division 14. During a tour in the War Plans Division of OpNav just prior to World War II, Ansel observed the poor state of U.S. Navy war planning. He was first CO of the oiler USS Winooski (AO-38), then had staff duty for the planning of the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, and Southern France. In 1944-45, he commanded the light cruiser USS Philadelphia (CL-41), including support duty in the Mediterranean. After postwar staff duty in the support force off Japan, he was on a SecNav Board and then served 1947-49 as subchief of the U.S. naval mission to Brazil. Rear Admiral Ansel retired in 1949. Based on seven interviews conducted by Dr. John T. Mason Jr. from September 1970 through December 1980, the volume contains 249 pages of interview transcript plus an index and appendices. The transcript is copyright 1972 by the U.S. Naval Institute; the restrictions originally placed on the transcript by the interviewee have since been removed.
