ISBN: 9781784530891 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. ""Underhand and damned un-English"" was the view of submarines in Edwardian Britain. Yet by the 1960s the new nuclear powered submarines were seen by the Royal Navy as being the ""hallmark of a first class navy."" In this book Duncan Redford, a retired Royal Navy submarine officer, explores how - and why - attitudes to the submarine changed in Britain between 1900 and 1977.

A History of the Royal Navy: World War II
ISBN: 9781780765464 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Royal Navy's operations in World War II started on 3 September 1939 and continued until the surrender of Japan in August 1945 - there was no 'phoney war' at sea.

Without the Royal Navy's attention to the defence of Britain's seaborne trade - especially in the struggle against German U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic - there would not have been food for the country, fuel for the RAF's operations...
