Descripción
388 pages. Index. Short bibliography. Numerous black and white photographic plates. Maps. Diagrams. "During WWI the Germans laid 43,636 mines in all parts of the world, though principally in the North Sea round about the British Isles. The bulk of the minesweeping fell upon Britain. At one period one minesweeper was lost for every two mines swept up, while each time a sweeper was sunk half her crew were killed or drowned. In all, we lost 214 Minesweepers during the four years and three months that the war lasted." - Introduction. Above-average wear. Backstrip loose but present. Hinges intact. Dust jacket not included.
