This book is a must for any student of operational planning, wartime logistics, and amphibious operations; however, one should break a cardinal rule of book-reading, and reading the epilogue first to ingest the details with solid context.

It is the vast amount of detail that the books covers concerning the vessels that would have been used that makes this the definitive reference book about Hitler's abortive mission.

This is a very serious and detailed commentary on the planned German invasion of Britain. It offers large amounts of very useful information and discusses the logistics and the landing plan in great detail. It is and will be the ‘go to’ book on the subject. Included are many very good photographs. Due to time and planning constraints it is clear that had the invasion gone ahead it would have looked more like Gallipoli than Normandy, with quite possibly the lack of specialist landing craft limiting the speed of delivering the troops and equipment to shore with impact. A clear difference to the later Allied efforts which had the luxury of time and the benefit of a focused objective to form the solutions.
