Among his many preoccupations during the Second World War, Winston Churchill was particularly concerned with the course of the war at sea upon which Britain's survival hinged. The political division of the island gave rise to divergent and far-reaching consequences, and for one turbulent year Britain's fate and the validity of Irish neutrality hung in the balance. When in January 1941 Hitler belatedly ordered a change in strategy - to concentrate air attacks on Britain's ports of entry in support of the U-boat campaign - the Luftwaffe could no longer ignore Belfast and the city suffered a devastating series of attacks; nor did Dublin and Derry escape unscathed. In recounting this story Trevor Allen has drawn on previously unpublished material from German military and Foreign Ministry archives. The personal recollections of former German airmen who took part in those attacks have been woven into the narrative to produce a graphic and unique description of them through German eyes.
