London: Cassell & Company Ltd, 1957. The Rock of Gibraltar has been a British fortress and colony for more than two hundred and fifty years. As a bastion of British sea power, as the custodian of the entrance of the Mediterranean, it has always been a vital factor in British strategy. This novel is the story of Gibraltar in its most fateful years. From early in 1940 the Rock was under continous threat by land should the Germans decide to swing through Spain, and by air from German bases in North Africa. But Gibraltar survived to garner and send forth the mightiest Armada the world has ever known. From the Rock was launched Operation Tourch - the invasion of North Africa. It is a sobering thing to reflect how different the story of the Second World War might have been without the Rock of Gibraltar. A number of events in this book did actually happen.
