Download or read book The Mediterranean Theater written by Adam Norman Lynde and published by Scholarly Resources, Incorporated. This book was released on 2004-05-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States and Britain's invasion of Iraq in March 2003 brought back for many Americans the memories of these two great nations' allied efforts in World War II. George W. Bush's conferences with Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair conjured images of Franklin Delano Roosevelt meeting with Churchill in 1941. This new book provides insight into relations between Britain and America and the two nations' joint planning and combined operations in the Mediterranean theater during World War II. The North African and Italian campaigns are often portrayed as of secondary importance to the Allied defeat of Nazi Germany. Yet, the role these campaigns played in resolving points of dispute between Britain and America's political and military leadership was instrumental in ensuring not merely the success of the Normandy invasion in 1944, but of the bloody and hard-fought campaigns in Northwest Europe of the year that followed. the area of operations where this relationship was first put to the test, and where conflict among Allied political and military interests was first evident. The origin and resolution of the disagreements that divided Britain and America's wartime leadership is examined by placing the story of the Anglo-American relationship within its broadest cultural and political as well as military context. The historiographical debates that have surrounded this campaign are also analyzed, debates as prone to disagreement and conflict as the Allied conduct of the campaign itself. The text begins by placing the political and military events of the late 1930s and early 1940s within the broader social and economic context of Britain and the United States. operations during the war. The invasion of North Africa, the campaign in Italy, operations against southern France, the collapse of axis power in the Balkans and Greece, and other aspects of the Mediterranean theater are analyzed.

It will fascinate all readers interested in World War II and the indelible mark the United States and Britain made on the military history of this period.

M.C. and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrated with 29 maps/diagrams and 44 photographs “The second of the eight volumes dealing with the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theatres in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War, this book is largely concerned with the consequences of Germany's decision to prop up its faltering Italian ally in North Africa in 1941. It opens with General Rommel reversing Britain's conquest of Italian Cyrenaica, and increasing Axis air attacks on the fortress island of Malta. Britain's naval victory against the Italians at Cape Matapan in March is swiftly followed by British reverses in the Balkans. A British-backed anti-Nazi coup d'état in Yugoslavia results in April in Germany's occupation of that country and Britain's retreat from Greece before a relentless German advance. Germany's airborne invasion of Crete sparks a fierce battle for the island, ending in a British evacuation. A pro-Axis coup in Iraq is followed by a successful British intervention, which deposes the pro-Nazi Rashid Ali regime in Baghdad. British and Free French forces also occupy Vichy French-ruled Syria. The book ends with more attacks on Malta, the building-up of Allied forces in the Middle East, and General Wavell's replacement by General Auchinleck as British Commander in North Africa.”-Print Edition

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyzes the history of the Mediterranean "Double-Cross System" of the Second World War, an intelligence operation run primarily by British officers which turned captured German spies into double agents. Through a complex system of coordination, they were utilized from 1941 to the end of the war in 1945 to secure Allied territory through security and counter-intelligence operations, and also to deceive the German military by passing false information about Allied military planning and operations. The primary questions addressed by the book are: how did the double-cross-system come into existence; what effects did it have on the intelligence war and the broader military conflict; and why did it have those effects? The book contains chapters assessing how the system came into being and how it was organized, and also chapters which analyze its performance in security and counter-intelligence operations, and in deception.

Download or read book The Second World War 4 written by Paul Collier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the idea that the Mediterranean theater of the Second World War was the first truly modern war. It was a highly mobile conflict, in which logistics were a critical and often deciding factor, and from the very beginning a close relationship between the land, sea, and air elements was vital. Victory could not be achieved by either side unless the three services worked in intimate cooperation. Each side advanced and withdrew across 1,000 miles of desert until the Axis forces were decisively defeated at El Alamein in 1942.

Download or read book Struggle for the Middle Sea written by Vincent O'Hara and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean is the maritime crossroads where Europe, Asia, and Africa meet. More major naval actions were fought there than in the Atlantic or Pacific yet remarkably little has been written about the subject. Th is fresh study of the Mediterranean’s naval war analyzes the actions and performances of the five major navies—British, Italian, French, German, and American—during the entire five-year campaign and examines the national imperatives that drove each nation’s maritime strategy. Struggle for the Middle Sea provides a history of the entire campaign from all perspectives and covers Germany’s largely unknown—and remarkably successful—struggle to employ sea power in the Mediterranean after the Italian armistice. Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy (August 2009) has called it “a new and stunningly important view of World War II” and “a fabulously readable and important book.”
