On an almost hourly basis, air battles, amphibious landings by troops, and monumental naval engagements took place.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Macintyre, the renowned military historian and escort commander, takes the reader to the heart of the battle, providing not just an overview but also provides fascinating details of the attack that left six German destroyers damaged within Narvik\u2019s harbour, the sacrifice made by the damaged HMS Glowworm as it rammed the heavy-cruiser Admiral Hipper, the heroism displayed by one naval officer who worked tirelessly to evacuate the shore bases near Trondheim, and the final tragic loss of the carrier HMS Glorious.<\/p>\n<p>The Norwegian campaign that took place in the spring of 1940 is often overshadowed by later successful Allied operations in the European theatre: North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and France. Yet, although German forces surprised and ultimately held off the Allied counterattack, Captain Macintyre demonstrates why this is such an important campaign and how the Allies had to learn difficult lessons here before they were able to march on to victory.<\/p>\n<p>Narvik should be essential reading for anyone interested in the oft-overlooked campaign that took place during what was known as the \u2018Phoney War\u2019, proved a brutally eye-opening to the Allies, but taught them much about how to fight in the battles to come.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Really first rate.\u2019 Kirkus Reviews<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A book to set the blood tingling\u2019 Evening News<\/p>\n<p>\u2018fascinating reading\u2019 U.S. Naval Institute    <\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B0DH4R11KZ <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Sapere Books (December 15, 2024) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 December 15, 2024 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 2698 KB <br \/> Simultaneous device usage                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Unlimited <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Not Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 250 pages <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The epic story of the brutal battle for Norway in 1940.
