This is a good battle book, and demonstrates the skill with the RN brought off this coup! There was help from the Italians of course, but this book enables a direct comparison with the Pearl Harbor attack. One of a fun series of focused works that has helped my historical imagination.
A basic account of the major battles involved in supplying the Russian War effort. All in all, a dreadful place to die, up in those latitudes' freezing oceans. If you can't get a thicker book on it, a good read.

This a good basic book with a clear set of diagrams covering the naval side of the Normandy landings. The text is clear, and there are eight photographs.

An adequate small format book on the end of the last German Surface raider, and the loss of HMS Hood. Maps and photos are too small but the use of all arms of the UK war efforts is clearly shown.
