Now available in paperback, this superbly written account is the first English-language book utilizing the latest research in various languages to provide a comprehensive record of World War II fighting on, under, and over the Mediterranean. Far more than an operational history, it explains why the various warship classes were built and employed, the role of the Italian Air Force at sea, the successes of German planes and U-boats, and much more. Detailed maps provide a clear visual aid to understanding events, while many never-before-published photographs paint a vivid picture of the reality of war at sea. Lauded for their thorough research and persuasive style, the authors have made a valuable contribution to the record, and their book will attract everyone with an interest in the naval aspect of World War II.
