Britain and its Dominions, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, formed the most durable, cooperative and interchangeable alliance of the war. Iain E. Johnston-White looks in depth at how the Commonwealth war effort was financed, the training of airmen for the air war, the problems of seaborne supply and the battles fought in North Africa. Fully one third of the ?British? effort originated in the Dominions, a contribution that was only possible through the symbiotic relationship that Britain maintained with its former settler-colonies. This cooperation was based upon a mutual self-interest that was largely maintained throughout the war. In this book, Johnston-White offers a fundamental reorientation in our understanding of British grand strategy in the Second World War. 410 0$aStudies in Military and Strategic History 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aHistory of Military$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aCommonwealth countries$2fast 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aHistory of Military. 676 $a941 700 $aJohnston-White$b Iain E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0942327 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157397803321 996 $aThe British Commonwealth and Victory in the Second World War$92126451 997 $aUNINA
