Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The extraordinary drama of Malta's WWII victory against impossible odds told through the eyes of the people who were there. In March and April 1942, more explosives were dropped on the tiny Mediterranean island of Malta - smaller than the Isle of Wight - than on the whole of Britain during the first year of the Blitz. Malta had become one of the most strategically important places in the world. From there, the Allies could attack Axis supply lines to North Africa; without it, Rommel would be able to march unchecked into Egypt, Suez and the Middle East. For the Allies this would have been catastrophic. As Churchill said, Malta had to be held 'at all costs'. FORTRESS MALTA follows the story through the eyes of those who were there: young men such as twenty-year-old fighter pilot Raoul Daddo-Langlois, anti-aircraft gunner Ken Griffiths, American Art Roscoe and submariner Tubby Crawford - who served on the most successful Allied submarine of the Second World War; cabaret dancer-turned RAF plotter Christina Ratcliffe, and her lover, the brilliant and irrepressible reconnaissance pilot, Adrian Warburton. Their stories and others provide extraordinary first-hand accounts of heroism, resilience, love, and loss, highlighting one of the most remarkable stories of World War II. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001149056

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Orion Books Ltd, London, 2003. Book condition: very good. Minimal wear. Spine uncreased. The book has an unread feel to it. No dust jacket (as issued). 11th June 1940 and Italian aircraft fly over Malta for the first of more than three thousand bombing raids the Island is to suffer during the longest siege in British history. The day before, Mussolini had declared war on Britain, and in that moment, the tiny Island of Malta became one of the most important strategic pieces of land in the world. Today, Malta's valiant story is largely forgotten, but for nearly three years the Island held the key to the war in the Mediterranean and North Africa. With the arrival of Axiz Luftwaffe, malta quickly became the most bombed place on earth. Convoys carrying precious supplies suffered appalling losses, but despite starvation and disease, the Islanders continued to hold out. Such was their heroism that George VI took the unprecedented step of awarding the whole Island the George Cross, the highest civilian award for valour. This book follows the story through the eyes of the individuals who were there: the pilots, submariners, soldiers and civilians who each provide extraordinary tales of heroism, resilience, love and loss. This is one of the most remarkable stories of the Second World War. Illustrated. Book. Seller Inventory # 1304600
