VAN DER VAT, Dan Atlantic Campaign. 1st US in dj
Harper & Row, 1988, ISBN:0060159677
VAN DER VAT, Dan. The Atlantic Campaign : World War II's Great Struggle at Sea. With research by Christine van der Vat. N.Y.: Harper & Row, (1988). First Printing. Pp 424 + 24 pp of photos. 8vo, navy cloth "The battle between Germany and the Allies for control of the Atlantic sea lanes was a prolonged and desperate struggle that came closer than any other to ending the Second World War in Germany's favor. Churchill called it "a war of groping and drowning, of ambuscade and stratagem, of science and seamanship." How German, British and American admirals plotted the grand strategy of the campaign from Berlin, London and Washington is brilliantly recounted here, as are the dramas played out on and under the Atlantic: the Allies' increasingly elusive systems of sailing in convoy; the German surface raiders and artfully disguised motherships that vastly extended the U-Boats' range; the devastating mass attacks by U-Boats at night, when fear and confusion were at their peak. In The Atlantic Campaign the author's full portrayal of the German side of the story is particularly striking. Unlike writers before him, van der Vat is fluent in German and has taken full advantage of extensive German archives on the subject. He has also given full weight to the important and gallant role played by Canada's ships and sailors in the campaign." - from the dj. Nova Scotia . Halifax: pp.122, 138-9, 230, 334-5; Sydney: p.151.

Illustrated with pictorial endpapers. 8vo, blue cloth. This is an examination of various conspiracy theories surrounding the sinking ofthe Titanic. As the authors state: "The resulting theories range from the mundanely explanatory to the apparently fantastical, as an example of the former, we argue that the White Star evaded a charge of gross negligence by paying off key witnesses. In the latter category we examine the idea that the Titanic was a ringer." -from the text. Gift inscription to ffep, else vgin sticker-ghosted dj. 25.00
