Looking for the perfect Pusser’s present for Christmas?
We can offer you a 25 percent discount (£15) on the latest edition of Royal Navy Day by Day thanks to The History Press, who will also post you this (very heavy) volume to you free of charge. That’s no postage or packing costs.
A mainstay on most matelot’s book shelves alongside Jackspeak and Ships of the Royal Navy, Royal Navy Day by Day is the reading matter you MUST have if you want to know what has happened in the long proud history of the Senior Service, er, day by day.
It is seven years since the fourth edition rolled off the presses – a gap which encompasses the end of operations in Afghanistan, the end of the Sea King and Lynx, the end of military SAR, HMS Queen Elizabeth’s arrival on the world stage, the Type 45s all becoming operational, the Arab Spring and operations in Libya, the ongoing Mediterranean migrant problem and a resurgent Russian threat.
Author Lt Cdr Lawrie Phillips takes as his starting point 1588 and the defeat of the Armada. In the 530 years since, there is not one of the 366 days in the calendar which is not etched in some annals of the RN: glory, tragedy, ceremony, bureaucracy.
To order phone Macmillan Distribution on 01256 302699 or email macmillandirect@macmillan.co.uk, and quote the offer code ‘RA3’. It is valid until January 31 2019.
