Paperback. Condizione: Good. Continuing on from Arthur Marder's previous book,From the Dardanelles to Oran: Studies of the Royal Navy in Peace 1915-1940 this next volume investigates the Allied expedition of September that year, with De Gaulle present, which unsuccessfully attempted to break the French at Dakar away from the Vichy Government. A pet operation of Prime Minister Churchill, the operation was undertaken against all advice, and it turned out to be a fiasco. In the author's words, "Menace exemplified, in its genesis, planning, and execution, all that can go wrong in warfare; an operation fouled up by unforeseen contingencies, the accidents of war, and human error, and against a background of undue political interference, inadequate planning, and half-baked co-operation between Allies." Using Admiralty and Cabinet papers, as well as private sources of information, Marder weaves a skilled course through all the complex material to produce a masterly case-study of how an operation is mounted and how it can go disastrously wrong. It is a classic, tragicomic illustration of the fog of war.…

Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. Presumed first printing thus. Format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. [18], vii- xvi, [2], 301, [21] pages. Footnotes. Maps. Index. Introduction by Barry Gough. Arthur Jacob Marder (8 March 1910 - 25 December 1980) was an American historian specializing in British naval history in the period 1880-1945. In 1941-42, he was a research analyst in the Office of Strategic Services, before becoming an associate professor of history at Hamilton College in 1943-44. In 1944, he was appointed associate professor at the University of Hawaii, where he remained for twenty years, becoming a full professor in 1951, then senior professor in 1958. In 1964, he was appointed professor of history at the University of California, Irvine, remaining there until he retired as professor emeritus in 1977. This collection of essays was first published in 1974, and the fact that it remains relevant today is a testament to Marder's legacy as arguably the greatest naval historian of the 20th century. Readability is part of what made Marder such an excellent historian, and it is displayed perfectly in this collection. Focusing less on abstract forces and more on human influence, Marder creates a book as accessible to the layman as it is interesting to the historian.…
