- Book 1 of 5: The Captain Frank H. Shaw Maritime History Series
The ideal book for fans of James D. Hornfischer, Richard Woodman, Max Hastings, and Nicholas Monsarrat.
From the sinking of HMS Rawalpindi by the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau just two months into the war, to the Battle of the River Plate on the other side of the world, Captain Shaw takes us on a journey across the world's oceans, exploring how the Allies overcame the aggressive Kriegsmarine and gained control of the seas.
Rather than focusing solely on the more famous seaborne conflicts of World War Two, Shaw delves into the early engagements of the war, demonstrating just how close the isolated island of Britain came to being strangled by the terrifying German pocket battleships and U-boats. Particularly fascinating is how the initial fightback began not with large Allied battleships, but with the innovative use of miniature X-class submarines and Motor Torpedo Boats.
Interviews with combatants bring this tremendous conflict to life, revealing the understated courage all had to rely on in the face of rough seas.
Epic Naval Fights is essential reading for anyone interested in learning more about some of the most important but often forgotten battles of the Second World War. From the Arctic to the South Atlantic, Shaw provides a fresh perspective on World War Two at sea and shows just how close the Allies came to losing the war in its early years.

In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
