"This hardback book is the saga of Norway’s Merchant Fleet in the Second World War. It is a splendidly researched addition to Second World War maritime history and is claimed to be the first detailed account in English of Norway’s critical contribution to the Allies’ war effort."

This offering from Pen and Sword is a very nice addition to the Images of War series, as it covers a period of the war in an area that is largely ignored. I appreciate the authors attempts to provide written introductions to the chapters, as it does help to add context into what you are going to look at. Something Philip Jowett does particularly well are the captions for the photographs, as the level of detail provided I found pleasing.

The book is so extensively referenced via various histories, and primary sources. At the back is an excellent glossary of terms, useful for both the novice and someone more adept with military terms. Alongside this is a timeline which brings out the whole story of via a chronology leading up to war. Overall this is a must have, fantastic account of the invasion of Norway, taking in comprehensive relevant angles.

The book provides a consolidated resource for any student of the war in Norway from April 1940 until December 1941, therefore, I recommend it to anyone interested in the Second World War in this area.
