The story of the Mulberry harbours must rank among the most
remarkable to emerge from the Second World War. In terms of
engineering achievement, it is surely one of the greatest of all
time.Allied planners correctly anticipated that the Germans would
deny, either by destruction or dogged defence, the vital Channel
ports in the aftermath of D-Day. If the invading armies could not
be kept resupplied, OVERLORD would fail. The only solution was to
design, build, transport and install two massive artificial
harbours.How this highly ambitious plan was implemented is told
with clarity and authority in this superb book. The text, admirably
free of unnecessary technical jargon, is well supported with
photographs, diagrams and tables, which demonstrate vividly the
scale of this great venture. The irony is that the real enemy
turned out not to be the Germans but the elements. Code Name
Mulberry is a first class account of all aspects of this
extraordinary chapter in the history of the Second World War.
