Great Britain: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd. Near Fine/Near Fine. Date: 1988. First Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0340377518 Hardcover Hardcover. First Edition. The Atlantic Campaign. The Great Struggle at Sea. 1939 - 1945. Slight foxing to top edge. Price clipped to D/J. In this book, the first comprehensive account in English for more that a decade, the author reappraises the principal struggle of the Second World War at sea. The result is a fresh and questioning view of a uniquely complex and documented campaign. For the first time in a general accopunt the unfairly neglected Canadian contribution is given proper weight. The author also sees the role of intelligence as exaggerated by the drama surrounding the 'Ulta' revelations in the 1970s. Nor was the dangerously grudging recognition of airpower the reason for the Allied victory, even if it was the last straw for the Germans. The Atlantic Campaign, he firmly believes, was not decided by a single magic ingredient but by attrition, in which the side which had the greater resource ultimately triumphed.
