• Sommario/riassunto: Using unknown archival material to give voice to those who made the Mulberry Harbours to supply the military advance after D-Day and implemented a global military strategy in World War II, this book brings the "big picture" back to geopolitics, showing how the everyday actions of individuals made, and were made by, geopolitical settings.
