‘Fittest of the fit’ was the Royal Navy’s boast about its personnel, a claim based on a recruitment process that was effectively self-selection. This book examines that basic assumption and many of the issues that followed from it. Beginning with the medical aspects of recruitment, it looks at how health and fitness was maintained in the adverse environment of sea service, including the particularly onerous extremes of Arctic and Tropical conditions, and life for its submariners and airmen as well as those in the surface fleet.

Rich in detail, this book gives a fascinating account of the British military campaigns in the Middle East in the Twentieth Century.

After the defeat of Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany, the inevitable consequences of the conflicting promises the British had previously made to both the Jews and Arabs began to boil over. Arab and Jewish nationalism became unbridled and the United States entered the fray.
