Descrizione
8vo., Third Impresson, with 8 plates and front and rear endpaper maps; green cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in price-clipped dustwrapper. Beesly served in OIC from 1940; his account is the first to describe in detail its fight against Germany, excluding the Mediterranean theatre. A useful complement to Maclachlan but with the advantage that ULTRA was beginning to declassify and there is here much new material. Specific episodes include the sinkings of the Bismarck and the Scharnhorst, the Channel Dash and Arctic convoy PQ 17. A key text in the unveiling of ULTRA by a central player in its dissemination. The original edition is elusive in this condition. Enser p.127; 154; Law 0816.
