Book Synopsis



Max Hastings nos trae uno de los capítulos más dramáticos olvidados de la segunda guerra mundial.


En agosto de 1942, una asediada Malta estuvo a pocas semanas de rendirse porque sus 300.000 habitantes ya no podían ser alimentados. Churchill tomó la decisión personal de salvar a toda costa la "isla fortaleza". No se trataba simplemente de una cuestión de estrategia, sino de prestigio nacional, cuando la fortuna y la moral de Gran Bretaña habían caído a su punto más bajo.


Por las páginas de este libro veremos desfilar catastróficos hundimientos de buques, junto con luchas por rescatar a los supervivientes y salvar los barcos siniestrados. Max Hastings describe esta historia como una de las más extraordinarias que jamás haya contado. Hasta las últimas horas, ningún participante de ninguno de los dos bandos pudo saber cuál sería el resultado de una epopeya de suspense y valor en tiempos de guerra.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Max Hastings brings us one of the most dramatic forgotten chapters of World War II.


In August 1942, a besieged Malta was just weeks away from surrender because its 300,000 inhabitants could no longer be fed. Churchill made the personal decision to save the "fortress island" at all costs. It was not simply a matter of strategy, but of national prestige, at a time when Britain's fortune and morale had hit rock bottom.


Through the pages of this book, we witness catastrophic ship sinkings, along with struggles to rescue survivors and save stricken vessels. Max Hastings describes this story as one of the most extraordinary he has ever told. Until the final hours, no participant on either side could know the outcome of this epic tale of suspense and bravery in wartime.
