Concerning the Atlantic and Mediterranean, here’s your guide to the battles at the River Plate, the Atlantic, the sinking of the Bismarck, the PQ17 Atlantic Convoy and the Operation Pedestal convoy to Malta. It includes over 100 photos and maps. Each action or campaign lists the forces and commanders, then sets the scene and breaks down the fighting into easily digestible chunks. The photos are mainly of the ships sailing around but some are from the battles themselves. It’s an interesting collection, with a second volume due to add the other theatres of naval conflict.
