The
Second
World
War
was
a
truly
global
conflict
and
maritime
power
played
a
major
role
in
every
theatre
of
operations.
Land
campaigns
depended
on
supplies
transported
by
sea,
and
victory
or
defeat
depended
on
the
outcome
of
naval
battles.
So
Leo
Marriott’s
highly
illustrated
two-volume
account
of
the
struggle
sets
naval
actions
in
the
wider
strategic
context
as
well
as
giving
graphic
accounts
of
what
happened
in
each
engagement.
This
first
volume
concentrates
on
the
Royal
Navy’s
confrontation
with
the
ships
and
submarines
of
the
German
Kriegsmarine
during
the
Battle
of
the
Atlantic,
the
Arctic
convoys
and
the
struggle
across
the
Mediterranean
against
the
Italian
navy
to
supply
the
opposing
armies
in
North
Africa.
The
Battle
of
the
River
Plate,
the
pursuit
of
the
Bismarck,
the
PQ17
convoy
to
the
Soviet
Union
and
Operation
Pedestal,
the
most
famous
convoy
sent
to
relieve
Malta,
are
among
the
episodes
described
in
vivid
detail
and
illustrated
with
a
selection
of
striking
photographs.
This
concise
but
wide-ranging
introduction
to
the
naval
war
emphasizes
the
sheer
scale
of
the
conflict
in
every
sea
and
shows
the
direct
impact
of
each
naval
battle
on
the
course
of
the
war .
