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.

Add to basket1p., 4to. He is honoured to be asked to talk to the Napier Society (a military history society at Sandhurst), but is 'right in the middle of the Cambridge term', as a Fellow of Churchill College, and so must 'propose a subject which I have already talked about.' He suggests two topics: 'Trade Defence in World War II' and 'Some R…easons for Official History', in the last of which he tries 'to answer criticisms of that form of history and describe the sources I had used and the way I had worked when writing The War at Sea 1939-45'. He ends by warning Brett-James that his deafness makes him 'pretty hopeless in discussion unless I can have somebody to repeat questions to me. With most of my audiences this has worked satisfactorily, so I hope you can make arrangements to overcome my disabilitiy.' Brett-James's official title was 'Head of Department, War Studies & International Affairs, Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst'.
