.HMS Rodney: The Famous Ships of the Royal Navy Series (Warships of the Royal Navy)
City Travel Guides > Books > World War II 1939-1945
by: Iain Ballantyne

March 12, 2008
I was surprised to recently come across this book in Waterstones (more expensive than on Amazon!) and bought this book on a whim. My late father was a young stoker on HMS Rodney - joining in 1943 - after Bismark - but in time for D-Day and the Russian convoys. He left the ship following Victory in Europe and was in Vancouver ready to join the Pacific fleet when the war ended.

This is a wonderful history - accessible for non-specialists like myself. Following a brief introduction to the Admiral himself and the first ships that subsequently bore his name, the book focuses on the battleship laid down in the 1920s and finally broken up in 1948.

The strange shape of the Rodney and her sister ship Nelson resulted from ... Read More:

.Eastern Approaches
City Travel Guides > Books > World War II 1939-1945
by: Fitzroy Hew Maclean

March 28, 1991
You don't get them much better than this. It is an absolute classic. Foreign Office Mandarin turns MP, then joins the LRDG, the SAS and finally becomes "our man" in Yugoslavia with a brief to find "this Tito chap" that nobody really believes existed.

Sir Fitzroy certainly led a remarkable life, which he vividly describes, whilst at all times remaining understated. He comes across as a person who almost by accident stumbles into fortune and adventure and at times gets away with some of the most remarkable stunts. This gives him the gentlemanly and humourous appeal, which I am sure has led many to believe that he was a source of inspiration for Fleming's 007.

The book, which is divided into three sections is an easy holiday or aeroplane ... Read More:

.The Myth of the Blitz
City Travel Guides > Books > World War II 1939-1945
by: Angus Calder

August 13, 1992
As a history student with a keen interest in the subjects that this book covers I gladly greeted the opportunity to read this book as part of a module for my second year at University. However I found the way the author had written this book to be difficult to read despite my perseverance to the end. Furthermore his idea that the myth of the blitz was wholly a product of propaganda and that in fact Britain was made up of anti-Semitic collaborators who were one step away from crumbling and who relied almost totally on American support was deeply flawed. It seems a pity to me that the author missed the opportunity to write a genuinely interesting and different piece of work and instead produced a sensationalist piece that despite selling copies will soon end up in second hand ...
