The Admiralty, 1943., 1943. 6p. Photos. Brown wraps. String bound. Note on Admiralty startionary pasted inside the front cover addressed to (Admiral) Alan (G. Kirk USN) from Godfrey, the author. Dated 12/1/44. Noting that only 18 copies were printed for private circulation. Very Good Copy Wiki: He served in the First World War as a battleship commander, taking part in the Battle of Jutland with notable success, contributing to the sinking of the German cruiser Wiesbaden. He served as First Sea Lord, the professional head of the Royal Navy, for the first four years of the Second World War. In that role his greatest achievement was his successful campaign against the German U-boats and the winning of the Battle of the Atlantic but his judgment has been questioned over the failed Norwegian Campaign in 1940, and his dismissal of Admiral Dudley North in 1940. His order in July 1942 to disperse Convoy PQ 17 and withdraw its covering forces, to counter a threat from heavy German surface ships, led to its destruction by submarines and aircraft. His health failed in 1943 and he resigned, dying shortly thereafter.". 1st. Paperback. Very Good. Book.
