They sailed unescorted, with 15,000 men at a time. This is a fascinating account of the operation and the dangers faced from U-boats, enemy aircraft, and the stormy Atlantic, and in over-loaded vessels. The author reveals for the first time how decoded "Enigma" signals were central to the success of this operation."; 9.3 X 6.8 X 0.9 inches; 256 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
