Description
Hardcover, cobalt blue cloth cover, with dust jacket, entitled "Chronology of the War at Sea 1939-1945 - The Naval History of World War Two", New Edition Expanded and Revised, by Jürgen Rohwer and Gerhard Hummelchen, first published in 1972 by Greenhill Books, Lionel Leventhal Ltd. of London, first edition 1972/1974, second revised and expanded edition 1992, published under the auspices of the Bibliothek für Zeitgeschichte (Library of Contemporary History) at Stuttgart, Germany, translated by Derek Masters, printed by Butler and Tanner Ltd. of Frome, Somerset, ISBN 1-85367-117-7. As stated on the dust jacket: "More than 6,000 warships - of which nearly a quarter were sunk or destroyed - fought in the Second World War. Over massive distances, great convoys carried men and weapons to the war fronts; while fleets of warships, operating both on and below the surface of the seas, attempted to intercept them. Mighty battleships, bigger and more powerful than before, clashed in the greatest naval battles ever seen. Air power, launched from new generations of carriers, introduced ever more potent destructive forces upon targets at sea and on shore. And from the seas were launched the decisive land assaults that finally brought the global war to an end. This book chronicles, in detail, that epic war across the oceans and seas of the world. Each and every action between opposing naval forces, the movements of warships, fleets, convoys and individual ships is recorded. Amphibious operations are also included, as are naval air operations; and periodic assessments are made of the overall strategic situation in each theatre of war. All theatres of the war are included, and the course of events in each is chronicled with detailed coverage of all the major naval engagements. Between the main climatic events, all the less well-known actions and skirmishes are also recorded, making this a uniquely complete single-volume reference book on the naval history of the Second World War. Based on the classic two-volume chronology published in the 1970s, "Chronology of the War at Sea" takes into account the very latest information to have emerged about the events of the war, as of 1992. Special account has been taken of the dramatic influence on decisions taken as a result of "Ultra" intercepts - a factor little known outside those involved until just a few years before the early 1990s. The vital importance of these decrypts, and the momentous influence they exerted on the decision-makers, shows many events of the naval war in a new, totally different light. In particular, the great U-boat versus convoy battles in the North Atlantic have recently been reappraised by naval historians as more has been learnt of the signals intercepts made by both sides. The effects of this new information are fully taken into account in this chronology. A series of massive, highly detailed indexes featuring more than 20,000 entries - divided into lists of warships, merchant ships, naval forces (fleets, squadrons, flotillas, etc.). armies, air forces, personalities, and miscellaneous (aircraft, convoys, mine barrages and operations) - facilitates rapid access to specific events. "Chronology of the War at Sea" is one of the few truly indispensable reference works for anyone seriously interested in the history of the Second World War." It begins with a Preface, followed by an Abbreviations and Glossary. The bulk of the book consists of a Chronology by date for the years 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, the contents of which are detailed on the dust jacket. It concludes with sixty pages incorporating seven Indexes (Warships; Merchant Ships; Naval Forces; Armies; Air Forces; Personnel; Miscellaneous). The book contains 448 pages of text, printed in black ink, on a thick white paper stock, weighing 1.3 kilograms, measuring 207 mm (w) x 264 mm (h) x 37 mm (d). Near extremely fine.
