MALTA DIARY OF A WAR 1940-1945 by Michael Galea Malta was an important military and naval fortress, being the only Allied base between Gibraltar and Alexandria, Egypt. It became a linchpin in the British Empire overseas—a vital way station along Britain's lifeline, through Egypt and the Suez Canal to India and the Far East. It offered a haven for British shipping to and from those places, but it also gave the British an excellent staging platform of offensive thrusts against naval, land, air and shipping targets in the central Mediterranean. This is a day by day account of the war years and the attacks by the Italian and German forces.1994, Pub.
