The strategic importance of the Azores has long been marginalised in military historiography. This meticulously researched and well illustrated title by historian Guy Warner offers a rigourous yet judicious reassessment. Drawing on extensive archival and photographic sources in the United Kingdom, the United States, Portugal, and the Azores—and informed by close collaboration with local historians—the work illuminates a neglected dimension of twentieth-century history and substantially revises our understanding of its global significance.
