Churchill wrote,'The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril'.Had the convoy link between North America and Britain been broken,the course of the Second World War would have been different.As it was,there was a period during the winter of 1942-43 when the Germans came close to cutting the North Atlantic lifeline.The crisis was reached in March 1943 when two convoys sailed from New York harbour for England. Doenitz deployed forty-two U-boats to trap these two convoys.Both were located and twenty-one merchant ships were sunk in the ensuing battle.The Germans called it 'the greatest convoy battle of all time'. 'Convoy' is the story of the battle for Convoys SC.122 and HX.299 - one 'turn' in the convoy cycle.This battle was a major turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic but,in many ways,this book could be the story of any of the hundreds of convoys that sailed the ocean in these years.One important chapter throws new light on three controversial aspects of the Battle of the Atlantic - why there was an 'Air Gap' long after full air cover could have been provided; why the convoys had to sail with disastrously weak naval escorts; how the Allies kept the secret of how they outwitted the Germans in the radio decoding war.This one chapter alone makes a valuable new contribution to the naval history of the Second World War. 'Convoy' completes Martin Middlebrook's highly praised Men at War trilogy describing a land battle - in 'The First Day on the Somme',an air battle - 'The Nuremburg Raid',and now a sea battle,all seen through the eyes of the ordinary men who took part.'Convoy' richly draws on the archives to give the viewpoint,not only of the merchant ships and their naval and air escorts,but also of the U-boats and the Allied and German land headquarters.But above all it is the memories of the men involved that makes this book a living work of history.The author has interviewed or corresponded with 271 people involved in the battle now living in eleven different countries,227 on the Allied side and 44 Germans including Grossadmiral Karl Doenitz.Please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,for correct,insured shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page! ** N.B.

Within an hour of Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1939,the passenger liner Athenia bound for Montreal was torpedoed by a U-boat and sank with the loss of 112 lives.Throughout the ensuing six years,Britain's Merchant fleet lost a further 4,000 vessels and some 29,000 personnel. The important part played by the Royal Navy during the Second World War is well documented,but throughout the conflict enemy submarines and aircraft also exacted this terrible toll from the ships and men of the Merchant Navy.While the military forces fought to defend Britain,the often unsung Merchant fleet battled equally fiercely to deliver essential cargoes. John Young goes some way towards redressing the balance here, highlighting the vital role of Britain's Merchant Navy, sailing under the famous Red Ensign.He gives a day-by-day account of the fortunes of the world's largest Merchant fleet from 3 September 1939 to 14 September 1945,with details of each vessel's size,ownership, route and cargo,and loss of life.This invaluable book is the culmination of 15years' painstaking research and forms the most comprehensive reference work available on this fascinating topic (then 1989). John Young has been a journalist for over 25 years,and has contributed to many maritime publications.He is former editor of the naval magazine 'Quarterdeck'.

The Lusitania tells the story of a great ship that made history from the day her keel was laid, but is remembered more for her loss than for her life. 9.25"x6.25", 291 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was sunk on 7 May 1915 by a German U-boat 11 miles (18 km) off the southern coast of Ireland. The sinking presaged the United States declaration of war on Germany two years later. Lusitania held the Blue Riband appellation for the fastest Atlantic crossing and was briefly the world's largest passenger ship until the completion of her sister ship Mauretania three months later. The Cunard Line launched her in 1906 at a time of fierce competition for the North Atlantic trade. She was sunk on her 202nd trans-Atlantic crossing. German shipping lines were aggressive competitors for the custom of transatlantic passengers in the early 20th century, and Cunard responded by trying to outdo them in speed, capacity, and luxury. Cunard used assistance from the British Admiralty to build Lusitania, on the understanding that the ship would be available as a light merchant cruiser in time of war. She had gun mounts for deck cannons, but no guns were ever installed. Both Lusitania and Mauretania were fitted with revolutionary new turbine engines that enabled them to maintain a service speed of 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph). They were equipped with lifts, wireless telegraph, and electric light, and provided 50-percent more passenger space than any other ship; the first-class decks were noted for their sumptuous furnishings. The Royal Navy had blockaded Germany at the start of the First World War; the UK declared the entire North Sea a war zone in the autumn of 1914 and mined the approaches. In the spring of 1915, all food imports for Germany were declared contraband.[5] RMS Lusitania left New York for Britain on 1 May 1915 when German submarine warfare was intensifying in the Atlantic. Germany had declared the seas around the United Kingdom a war zone, and the German embassy in the United States had placed newspaper advertisements warning people of the dangers of sailing on Lusitania. On the afternoon of 7 May, a German U-boat torpedoed Lusitania 11 miles (18 km) off the southern coast of Ireland inside the declared war zone. A second internal explosion sank her in 18 minutes, killing 1,198 passengers and crew. The Germans justified treating Lusitania as a naval vessel because she was carrying hundreds of tons of war munitions, making her a legitimate military target, and they argued that British merchant ships had violated the cruiser rules from the very beginning of the war.[8][9][10][11][12] The internationally recognized cruiser rules were obsolete by 1915; it had become more dangerous for submarines to surface and give warning with the British introduction of Q-ships in 1915 with concealed deck guns. The Germans argued that Lusitania was regularly transporting war munitions; she operated under the control of the Admiralty; she could be converted into an armed auxiliary cruiser to join the war; her identity had been disguised; and she flew no flags. They claimed that she was a non-neutral vessel in a declared war zone, with orders to evade capture and ram challenging submarines. However, the ship was not armed for battle and was carrying thousands of civilian passengers, and the British government accused the Germans of breaching the cruiser rules. The sinking caused a storm of protest in the United States because 128 American citizens were among the dead. The sinking shifted public opinion in the United States against Germany and was one of the factors in the declaration of war nearly two years later. After the First World War, successive British governments maintained that there were no munitions on board Lusitania, and the Germans were not justified in treating the ship as a naval vessel. In 1982, the head of the British Foreign Office's American department finally admitted that there is a large amount of ammunition in the wreck, some of which is highly dangerous and poses a safety risk to salvage teams..

Since the book's original first publication there has been a revival of interest in Collingwood's career - there is now a Collingwood Society. Two portraits,previously unknown to this author have surfaced,along with two new log books - one belonging to the brother Wilfred,from his command of HMS Rattler,the other from Cuthbert's in HMS Diamond. Also the dates of the two brothers' lieutenants' examinations are now known,in the spring of 1772.A number of new letters have also appeared.Admiral Lord Collingwood,the eldest son of a Newcastle merchant,went to sea in 1761 at the age of thirteen.In his nearly fifty years in the Navy he rose to become a fine seaman,a master of gunnery,and a battle commander the equal of his friend - and rival in love - Nelson.He was also an accomplished writer and wit,doting father, inveterate gossip and consummate diplomat and strategist. Collingwood's service took him to Boston,where he lived and fought during the American War of Independence; to Antigua,where he and Nelson both fell in love with Mary Moutray; and to Corsica,Sicily and Menorca,where he began as a young midshipman and ended his career as the effective viceroy of the Mediterranean.'Admiral Collingwood' is an intimate portrait of a forgotten British naval hero and a thrilling portrait of the glory years of the age of sail - the same world of fictional admirals Jack Aubrey,Horatio Hornblower and Richard Bolitho - see my MODERN FIRSTS, MODERN FIRSTS2 and SIGNED catalogues for examples of these.
