Admiral Sir Dudley Burton Napier North (1881-1961), was a much decorated Royal Navy officer who served during World War I and World War II. He became Flag Officer Commanding Gibraltar and Mediterranean Approaches in November1939. He was relieved of his command in December1940 on the grounds of his failure to challenge a Vichy French naval squadron some three months previously, this after he had narrowly escaped replacement in response to his earlier objection to the attack on Mers el Kebir. He was later exonerated of blame. Broadcaster and historian Ludovic Kennedy considered the failure to challenge the squadron the fault of people in London not North. Jacket by Eisner (ilustrador).

OCLC 2625440 LCCN 55018758 LC DA69.3.G68 A3 Dewey 923.542 ; red embossed cloth with gold lettering ; no dustjacket ; General Sir Hubert de la Poer Gough was a senior officer in the British Army in the First World War. A controversial figur…e, he was a favourite of the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, and the youngest of Haig's field army commanders.Gough was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, before commissioning into the 16th Lancers in 1889. His early career included notable service in the Second Boer War, and a more controversial role in the Curragh incident, in which he was one of the leading officers who threatened to accept dismissal rather than deploy into Protestant Ulster. Gough experienced a meteoric rise during the First World War, from command of a cavalry brigade in August 1914, to division command at the First Battle of Ypres that autumn, to a corps at the Battle of Loos a year later. From mid-1916 he commanded the Reserve Army (later renamed the Fifth Army) during the Battle of the Somme in 1916 and the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. His tenure was marked by controversy around his leadership style, his perceived reputation as "a thruster", and the efficiency of the organisation of his army, especially relative to the reputation for caution and efficiency of General Sir Herbert Plumer's Second Army. Fifth Army bore the initial brunt of the German spring offensive in March 1918, but Gough was scapegoated and relieved of his command. After the war, he briefly held a command in the Baltic until retirement in 1922, and stood unsuccessfully for Parliament. After a brief spell at farming, he made a new career for himself as a company director. Gough gradually re-emerged as an influential figure in military circles and public life, writing two volumes of memoirs. He was a senior commander in the London Home Guard in the Second World War ; copy of dward William Girard (1930-2020), with his bookstamp, a Boeing engineer and Rockwell Missile Systems Division operational analysis manager that served in the Navy during the Korean War. He was instrumental in proposing national re-emphasis on maritime strategy in the wake of the Israeli Six-Day War in 1967 and earlier, in 1961, the use of war games to function as pseudo-experiments, producing data for analysis ; Boots Bookstores Library label on front cover ; VG.
