Malta played a central role in the battles for the mastery of North Africa. The island was the vital supply base for Allied forces in the to-and-fro desert campaigns against Italy and then Germany and Rommel's Afrika Korps. The three-year siege was one of the longest in history. In this account the author, who first came to know and love the island whilst serving with the Royal Navy during the War, paints a vivid picture of the suffering of Malta's population, drawing on personal accounts and reminiscences of the participants.
