Malta Besieged, 1940–1942: Second World War (Campaign Chronicles) Kindle Edition

by David G. Williamson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

This WWII military study sheds new light on the legendary Siege of Malta, combining a detailed narrative with provocative strategic analysis.

The heroic defense of Malta against the Axis powers is one of the most famous episodes of the Second World War. For more than two years this tiny island was the critical to maintaining control of the Mediterranean and essential to the outcome of the North African campaign. David Williamson, in this thought-provoking reassessment, examines the strategy underpinning British determination to hold on to the island.

Expertly researched and vividly detailed, Malta Besieged sheds new light on the motives for persisting with such a costly defense against huge odds. he also explores the question of the islanders’ loyalty to the British crown. His incisive analysis takes account of the tactics employed by both sides, the political thinking and decision-making at the highest levels and the grim reality of the destruction and suffering on the ground.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of a key battle
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023
    Well written, easy read. Excellent coverage of the battle with background correspondence to reveal the thinking of the senior officers. The existence of Malta eventually spelled the end of German occupation of North Africa.
