Cover of J. Levy: Royal Navy's Home Fleet in World War 2 (PDF)

This book marks the first comprehensive history of Britain’s naval bulwark, the Home Fleet. It illuminates the vital role that fleet played in preserving Britain as a base of operations against Hitler. We see portrayed the hard days of blockade, patrol, and battle that encompassed the Home Fleet’s war. And we see how that war was made harder by weaknesses at the Admiralty and by the damaging interference of the Minister of Defence – Winston Churchill.
