The Norwegian Campaign has been covered in many books and most try to package all the events into just one volume. Geirr Haarr's knowledge on the subject shines throughout. Despite being written in 2009, I would describe this book as an essential read on Norway and a fascinating one at that.

From the laying of minefields to the early tactics of protecting merchant shipping from U-boats. The wide-ranging subjects that are covered and the vast amount of information in the many Appendices makes this book a valuable resource for both readers and researchers.
Another fascinating read from Mr Haarr.

"The amount of primary resources and photos sourced by the author of, 'Royal Marines in the First World War,' is impressive and gives validity to the accuracy of the information and its interpretation. It helped me appreciate a world I was unfamiliar with, and to the extent that the Royal Marines really are an asset in any field of conflict. The chapters highlight instances where Great Britain was able to apply the dedication and adaptability of these men and this volume would be an asset to anyone with an interest in this subject."
