Description

The strategic importance of Malta sitting astride both the Axis and Allied supply routes in the Mediterranean was obvious to both sides during WW2.

As a result the Island became the focal point in a prolonged and dreadful struggle that cost the lives of thousands of servicemen and civilians.

After setting the scene for the action, this book tells the story of the Island's stand against the might of the Axis powers that led to the unprecedented award of the George Cross to the whole island by King George VI.

It not only covers the struggle by the British and Maltese forces on the ground but the vicious fighting in the skies above.

This was indeed a siege involving every man and woman on the Island.David Wragg tells the story using many first -hand accounts and yet skillfully explains the strategic situation.

The result is an inspiring book worthy of the courage shown by the Islanders and their defenders.
