From Operation "Vado" in June 1940 to the memorable convoy battles of 1942, from the war of codes to the clandestine operations of Italian frogmen, through the Taranto raid, the submarine war and the great battleship and cruiser engagements up to 1943, the naval war in the Mediterranean is an unbroken succession of more or less well-known engagements.

It is on this vast and shifting front, stretching from Gibraltar to Egypt, that French, Italians, Germans and British cross paths, aboard battleships or simple destroyers, submarines or aircraft carriers, "human torpedoes" or bombers.

Two renowned specialists, the Italian Enrico Cernuschi and the Frenchman David Zambon, have tackled this unparalleled work to retrace the complex naval history of the war in the Mediterranean: in over 200 pages, they review all the battles, present each belligerent's point of view, separate fact from fiction and explain the tactics employed, the weapons and materiel used, and the political, economic and strategic choices made.

This book will delight the enthusiast with its wealth of often unpublished period photographs, battle maps and aircraft profiles. THE definitive future reference on the subject!
