Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This extensive series of books chronicles Britain throughout the Second World War (1945-1946) with each volume being dedicated to a different aspect of life during that war. In this particular edition we have the Royal Navy from 1942-1943 written by a former RN Commander who had already written some 50 books about ships and the sea.
In this particular book were are treated to a truly rich feast of stories and pictures with subjects so varied it is impossible to create even so much as an overview for the limited space afforded to a book review. One of my favourites is the reproduction of a painting of the US Aircraft Carrier Wasp off Malta in the Mediterranean across pages 32 and 33. Now there's something I learned!
With almost every aspect of life in an around the Royal Navy for the two years in question covered in meticulous detail, one has to say that the photographs alone make this book a valuable resource as far as research is concerned. Altogether, a great publishing achievement and one where the author has included the USN at every appropriate opportunity.
