Finding new approaches to the naval conflict during the Second World War is rare, yet Vincent P. O'Hara has foundrnsuch a niche. Most works of this era concentrate on carrier warfare, exploits of ace submarine commanders, or marines storming ashore on some desolate atoll. In Struggle for the Middle Sea, building on his earlier works (The German Fleet at Work and The US Navy Against the Axis), the author focuses his crosshairs on surface naval actions, a relevant topic asrnthe Mediterranean was the site for fifty-five such clashes, more than any other theater of operations, including the Pacific.
