About the Book

This action-packed World War II naval seriestakes historical military fiction to a new level. The Beginning of the End continues the story of Reserve Commander Warwick Hursey. It is the third and final book of the trilogy that began with Love and War and continued with Hursey in Conflict.

On his return from America, Warwick is appointed to command the light cruiser HMS Delhi, which is escorting convoys to Murmansk, where his ship plays a part in the sinking of the German battleship Scharnhorst. After escorting a fleet of landing craft to England from Gibraltar, he is posted to Camp Widewing, the huge U.S. and Allied base near London, where the planning for the D-Day landings took place. He observes the disastrous Operation Tiger, when over 900 American servicemen lost their lives.

Warwick meets and falls in love with Brigitte Ziegler, a Danish refugee. The book ends as the USS Augusta with General Bradley and Commodore Hursey embarked, weighs anchor on June 6, 1944, for the D-day invasion. This graphic and realistic story tells of action at sea and romance ashore.
