Stock code: 8128
Price: £12.00
8vo., First Edition, with 41 plates on 16 and 23 maps and diagrams (a number full-page) in the text; black cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a very good, clean copy in price-clipped dustwrapper.
Lucas has very skilfully set personal experiences by participants against a detailed and closely-reasoned account of the great engagement, its immediate forerunners and the outcome. A fascinating read, a worthy tribute to those involved, and a clear explication of the issues involved. This is an approach that would be well deserved by a host of other actions throughout WWII.
