The Royal Navy in Eastern Waters

Linchpin of Victory 1935–1942 Andrew Boyd

$29.95 • Paperback • 576 pages • 6.1x9.1 25 illustrations & 4 maps • January 2022 HIS027150 • 978-1-39-909654-6

This important work tells the story of how the Royal Navy secured the strategic space from Egypt to Australasia through the first half of the Second World War; it explains why this contribution, made while Russia’s fate remained in the balance and before American economic power took effect, was so critical. The book moves authoritatively between grand strategy, intelligence, accounts of specific operations, and technical assessment of ships and weapons. It challenges established perceptions of Royal Navy capability and will change the way we think about Britain’s role and contribution in the first half of the war.

Charts the rise of the large industrial conglomerates, looks at their reaction to fast-moving technical changes, and analyses the politics of funding a vast national effort, both before and during the Great War. It also attempts to assess the true cost and value of the Grand Fleet in terms of the resources consumed, and describes the effects of the post-war recession.

Schnellboote

A Complete Operational History Lawrence Paterson

$26.95 • Paperback • 352 pages • 6.1x9.1 110 b/w photos and 4 maps • March 2022 HIS027150 • 978-1-39-908228-0

The Kriegsmarine’s Schnellboote fast attack boats, or E-boats to the Allies, were the primary German naval attack units in coastal waters throughout the Second World War. There had been no comprehensive operational history of the S-boat service in all the theaters in which it saw service, but due to the relatively small number of units it is possible to recount the duties and fates of each individual craft and in this book the author examines the career of each in detail.

Battle in the Baltic

The Royal Navy and the Fight to Save Estonia and Latvia, 1918–1920 Steve Dunn Al Ross

$24.95 • Paperback • 304 pages • 6.1x9.1 35 black & white • January 2022 • HIS027150 978-1-39-909655-3

For most participants, the First World War ended on 11 November 1918, but the Royal Navy found itself, despite four years of slaughter and war weariness, were fighting a fierce and brutal battle in the Baltic Sea against Bolshevik Russia in an attempt to protect the fragile independence of the newly liberated states of Estonia and Latvia. Today few people are aware of this exhausting campaign and the sacrifices made by Royal Navy sailors (three VCs were won), but the pages of this book retell their exciting but forgotten stories and, using much first-hand testimony, bring back to life the critical naval operations that prevented the retaking of the new Baltic countries.

The Trafalgar Chronicle is the publication of choice for new research about the Georgian Navy, sometimes called ‘Nelson’s Navy’, though its scope includes all the sailing navies of the period from 1714 to 1837. The theme of the 2021 issue is ‘Georgian Navy encounters with indigenous and enslaved populations.’ The theme is particularly relevant to current-day discussions and social activism occurring across the globe, that have brought new insights and perspectives to Western history of colonization, exploration, and slavery.
