Scapa Flow: The Story of Britain's Greatest Naval… von Malcolm Brown
Good background, as others mention it mostly consists of accounts from people that were actually there. I agree that paints a vivd picture of what it was like to be there. Important that such accounts get preserved. .Light on historical perspective of what was going on.
Really enjoyed this history of the remote base in the Orkneys, used by the Royal Navy in both World Wars, and told through the recollections of ordinary people who served there (the book was reprinted from the late 1960s). It brought to life the hardships and also the way life was lived aboard the various ships of the time. So a well deserved 5 stars.
Scapa Flow, a large natural harbor in the Orkney Islands in the far north of Scotland that served as the main anchorage for the British fleet during the two world wars. Told largely in the words of the "ordinary" men and women who served there, linked by a clear and sensitive narrative by the two authors, the story of Scapa Flow vividly brings to life a time and a place and a world view that all seem very distant from the manic, self-absorbed, over-the-top world we live in today. The closing chapter about the closing of the base--and what it has meant to the people who served there--is especially poignant. One day I will have to go see this remote, extraordinary place for myself.… (mehr)
In the summer of 1940 Britain stood alone as Nazi Germany was swiftly tightening its grip on Europe. Hitler's forces appeared to be invincible, having swept through Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands and France. Invasion seemed inevitable as the Fuhrer's eyes turned to Britain, isolated against the might of fascism. But Hitler reckoned without the indomitable will and spirit of the British people and their leader, Winston Churchill.
