Nauticalia

The most extensive photographic record of the naval side of WWII ever published, combining newspaper images and rare prints - many previously unseen by the public - from London's Imperial War Museum, the US Naval Historical Center, and private collections, interspersed with an insightful year-by-year narrative. Events covered include the U-boat onslaught, Pearl Harbour, the Normandy beach landings, Operation Sealion (the planned German invasion of Britain), the self-destruction of the French fleet and the Italian fleet's surrender. Fascinating, truly the best account of WWII naval warfare we've seen.
