Peacetime political manoeuvring threatens Kelly Maguire’s ambition to command, but the outbreak of the Second World War returns him to active service. After a devastating reverse during the fighting around Narvik, he reaches Dunkirk as the British Expeditionary Force is evacuated. Maguire continues through the naval war and the Normandy landings before receiving a final assignment that could destroy the career he has spent decades building.
The final volume spans the early naval disasters of 1940, the Dunkirk evacuation and the return to continental Europe in 1944. Maguire’s long career allows the novel to compare the command culture of the two world wars and the strategic demands of modern combined operations.
