No one has told the full story of the Cod Wars in book form - until now. Nathan Morley digs deep into the centuries-old struggle for cod, tracing Britain's presence in Icelandic waters back over 500 years. What unfolds is a raw, high-stakes drama: Britain, deploying warships and diplomatic muscle, versus Iceland, wielding conviction, cunning, and a fleet of trawlers. It was a clash not just over fish, but over sovereignty, survival, and the waning authority of empire. With exclusive interviews, secret cables, and a personal connection - his own father was a fisherman caught in the storm - Morley reveals how Iceland turned a local dispute into a global reckoning. The Cod Wars were brief, bloodless, and quietly revolutionary. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368754819445,"sku":"9781398127548","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781398127548.jpg?v=1763550725","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781398127548","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
