Product Description

Product Description
A collection of photographs of the key west coast bases in Scotland during World War 2. The Hebrides were an important but little known theatre of the war and the photographs are accompanied by first-hand accounts of U-boat attacks, convoy attacks and the preparation for D-Day, from both military and civilian sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hebrides at War, 10 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hebrides at War (Paperback)
A valuable record of a little known but most crucial area of WW2. I was born in Tobermory and thus have a particular interest in the book and its contents. "Monkey Brand" Stephenson's exploits have been well documented elsewhere which made it all the more interesting to read of the RAF and other bases and the most valuable contribution they made to the Battle of the Atlantic. The selection of photographs is good and covers the contents nicely. A small piece of history maybe, but the writer is to be congratulated on recording it before it is irretrievably lost through the passage of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The battle of the North Atlantic, 4 Oct 2007

This review is from: The Hebrides at War (Paperback)
Visiting the beautiful Outer Hebrides on holiday I was struck by what looked like war graves in two burial grounds. These turned out to be the graves of men "Known unto God", WW II merchant seamen whose bodies had been washed ashore without any identification.I was interested to know more about these islands at war and this book tells the story of their contribution to defending the convoys and defeating the U boats. It is a story of bravery and humour from what seems like another age. I was prepare for tales of thatched crofts but not of barefoot school children. The book is well illustrated with many photos, quite a number of which must have been taken against regulations.
