Description
4to., First Edition, with very numerous photographs, illustrations and maps (a number full-page) in the text, and a folding plan; original pictorial wrappers, a near fine copy. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON TITLE. Detailed and valuable account of the minesweeping component of Operation NEPTUNE by the founder of the Algerines Association. The narrative structure includes much eye-witness and other vernacular material not available elsewhere. An excellent contribution to a still largely forgotten (and largely thankless) aspect of the RN's operations in WWII. VERY SCARCE.
