Betrayed: Scandal, Politics, and Canadian Naval Leadership
ISBN: 9780774812955 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In January 1944, Canada's top admiral, Percy Walker Nelles, was fired from his post as head of the Royal Canadian Navy. Traditional accounts maintain that Nelles's termination was the result of severe operational deficiencies within the navy. This intriguing history reveals the true story behind Vice Admiral Nelles's dismissal: a divisive power struggle between two elite groups within the RCN -- the navy's regular officers, and a small group of self-appointed spokesmen of the voluntary naval reserve. Richard Mayne shows how influential, but relatively junior, reserve officers were...

ISBN: 9781403939067 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson was a colourful and complex character, whose supremely successful naval career quickly attained legendary status.
