Beschreibung:
Educated at Dudley Grammar School, the now University of Wolverhampton and Aston University, the author qualified as a metallurgist and spent his working career almost equally divided between manufacturing industry and academia. His period of National Service was spent as a specialist Ammunition Technician in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. He is the author of over twenty research papers and technical and management articles, and has had two books published on naval topics.
Germany used co-ordinated land, sea and air power to invade Norway. Britain and France thought, wrongly that reactive use of sea power and unsupported ill-prepared infantry would suffice to eject the invader. The book comprehensively traces the progress of the Campaign with much use of participant accounts, many previously unpublished.
