A Book of Milliganimals by Spike Milligan
Command of the oceans was crucial to winning World War I. By the start of 1942 Nazi Germany had conquered mainland Europe and Imperial Japan had overrun Southeast Asia and much of the Pacific. How could Britain and distant America prevail in what had become a war of continents?In this definitive account, Evan Mawdsley traces events at sea from the first U-boat operations in 1939 through to the surrender of Japan. He argues that the Allied counter-attack involved not just decisive sea battles, but a long struggle to control shipping arteries and move armies across the sea. Covering all the major actions in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as those in the narrow seas, this book interweaves for the first time the endeavors of the maritime forces of the British Empire, the United States, Germany, and Japan, as well as those of France, Italy, and Russia.
