A Matter of Expediency - The Jettison of Admiral Sir Dudley North, Foreword by Admiral of the Fleet the Earl Mountbatten of Burma, [Mountbatten who, as First Sea Lord, made it clear to the Prime Minister of the time that without the full inquiry or the court martial Sir Dudley repeatedly demanded there was injustice. This book, telling the whole story of how he had been made the scapegoat for the blunders of others, helps vindicate his memory in history,],

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, spine very slightly sunned, not price clipped (£6.25), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 179pp, illustrated. The astonishing story of the disgraceful and dishonourable treatment of Sir Dudley North, Admiral of the Royal Navy who served during World War I and World War II. He was relieved of his command in 1940 on the grounds of his failure, while naval commander at Gibraltar, to challenge a Vichy French naval squadron; this after he had narrowly escaped replacement in response to his earlier objection to the action at Mers-el-Kebir. A scapegoat for mistakes made in London, he was only exonerated of blame long after his death in 1961. Seller Inventory # 002439
