This pre-owned softback book with 244 pages was written by Nick Hewitt and published by Pen & Sword in 2008.
This book describes Britain's dependence on coastal shipping and the introduction of the convoy system in coastal waters at the outset of the war. It brings to life the azards of the German mining offensive of 1939, the desperate battles fought in coastal waters during 1940 and 1941, and the long struggles that lasted to the end of that war.
