About This Item
E-185: Naval Institute Press. Very Good. 1996. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. US Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD. 1996. 184 pgs. Illustrated. Classics of Naval Literature. Brand new and still sealed in publisher's shrinkwrap. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The electrifying account of two strategically significant surface engagements in Norway's fjords in 1940. The book examines the intense battles that took place in the Narvik fjord in April 1940, mainly between destroyers of the RN and Germany, although HMS Warspite was also involved. An unusual aspect of this naval encounter was that much of it took place 100 miles from the open ocean. Great determination and gallantry was demonstrated on both side, with heavy losses in men and ships incurred, with the German navy's destroyer forces being particularly hard hit. A thorough and objective account of this famous encounter by Captain Dickens. EB; Classics of Naval Literature; 8.4 X 5.7 X 0.8 inches; 184 pages .
