"Antwerp and its only access from the North Sea, the Scheldt Estuary, were virtual fortresses; their capture involved some of the heavist fighting of the war. Here, British and Canadian troops, starved of vital supplies, distinguished themselves outstandingly, and here, to, was the setting for one of the Navy's most gallant actions. In this study, of the forgotten 'Cinderella Operation', the author brilliantly reconstructs the battle for Walcheren, from the initial bitterly opposed amphibious landing to the final victory."
