ONSEASCONTESTED: THE SEVEN GREAT NAVIES OFTHE SECOND WORLD WAR

摘要

In the 66th year following the end of the World War II, histories continue to appear which deal with the events of that conflict from often new and innovative angles. One such history is On Seas Contested which analyses the French, German, British, Italian, Japanese, United States and Russian navies' organisations, strategies, materiel and personnel and assesses their respective performances in the war at sea. A compact volume of 333 pages, each navy receives approximately 40 pages of text - a formidable challenge to the contributors who present a range of complex topics in generally well-disciplined and precise formats. The text is supported by useful tables, appendices, notes and a valuable bibliography for further research.
