GLEAMING NEW FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING OF A TERRIFIC wwii BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC BOOK. German U-Boat, U-175, which, with her compatriots, very nearly severed Britain's lifeline across the Atlantic, and which culminated in a critical battle around Convoy HX-233 in the Spring of 1943. The author was a witness to the battle and this, combined with the meticulous research of original documents and his use of eye witness accounts from both the Allied and German sides, has resulted in a quite remarkable piece of work in which no stone has been left unturned in his desire to reconstruct exactly what happened both to the U-boats and their quarry in the crucial months of 1943. But the book is much more than a description of a single battle, for the author takes this particular event as a microcosm to explain the strategic and tactical background, the technical developments on both sides, and the operational experiences that occurred thoughout the whole of the War

by Hopkinson, Johnfirst editionFIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING. Hard cover. Printed for the Ray society and sold by Dulau & co., ltd, London (1913) Good. Ex-library. xii, 288, 4 p. 23 cm. Ray Society (Series). The Ray society.. FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING. On front is the white call number you see. It is repeated at bottom of spine. Corners are bumped/ribbed and top of spine has small nick, but overall appearance is very bright with the fresh-looking gilt insignia and the incuse decoration. The back is even better. Because this book is from a museum, it does NOT have the usual pocket etc. It has a museum library sticker inside back board and on what would in modern day be the copyright page, it has an elliptical blue library stamp and manuscript call number. It all seems so tight and the pages so fine-looking that I suspect it was never read

He was hanged for his impertinence and shortly thereafter the ship went aground: the admiral drowned. It was just a few years after that when Voltaire declare it was dangerous to be right when "those in power" were wrong but that he, Voltaire, would defend to the death the right to state what is right. Easy statement to make, but whose death was it?
