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 & install two massive artificial harbours. How this highly ambitious plan was implemented is told with clarity & authority in this superb book.
