A nice overview ofnaval operations in the Mediterranean

Time-Life books are a real joy to read and this title about World War II naval operations in the Mediterranean is marvellous, featuring a lot of black and white photographs (and some color also). I especially enjoyed the short but excellent descriptions of the Cape Matapan battle, the Taranto raid and the X MAS daring operations against the British. The photo essays cover the Malta ordeal, the Gibraltar fortress and many other lesser known aspects of that titanic battle.
