Book Description:

The Mediterranean Sea was the most intensely contested body of water in World War II. Despite its importance, remarkably little has been written about the subject. This fresh study analyses the actions and performances of the five major navies - British, Italian, French, German, and American - and objectively examines the national imperatives that drove each nation's maritime strategy.
