$45 · Offered by eBay

A detailed military history of the liberation of Antwerp and the opening of the Scheldt estuary in the autumn of 1944, written by a Royal Marines officer who served in the campaign. Moulton traces the full story of the Allied struggle to clear the Scheldt and open the vital port of Antwerp to supply the advancing Allied armies, covering operations from the advance of the 11th Armoured Division from the Seine to the amphibious assaults at Flushing and Westkapelle. Drawing on regimental histories, unpublished manuscripts, contemporary records, and personal recollections from British, Canadian, Belgian, Dutch and German participants, this is an authoritative account of a much-overlooked but strategically decisive campaign of World War Two. Includes 17 maps, black and white photographic sections, three appendices, and a full index. DetailInformation ISBN0 7110 0769 1 PublisherIan Allan Ltd, Shepperton, Surrey AuthorMajor General J. L.
