Description

8vo., First Edition, with 32 plates on 16;cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. It is argued that the attack on Taranto changed the nature of war at sea by shifting the aggressive emphasis to carrier-borne aircraft. This account of Operation JUDGEMENT focuses on the personalities involved and examines the strategic context.
