This is the story of the Regia Marina and the Italian armistice of September 1943. It is a deeply-researched and highly readable exploration of this confusing and fascinating corner of history. It refutes the conventional notion that Italy's fleet abjectly surrendered to Allied power. It shows how the navy paved Italy's path from enemy to co-belligerent with the blood and unconquered spirit of its men. Despite German and Allied intentions to secure Italy's fleet for their own uses it remained Italian to the end: a dark navy - not victorious but undefeated. DARK NAVY is a masterful account of the Regia Marina's role in the Armistice of September 1943. The authors are to be commended for overturning the propagandist mythology which has often marred English-language histories of this difficult period in Italian history. DARK NAVY gives an excellent overview of the naval air and land impact on the Italian military at the time of the 8 September 1943 Armistice. Nimble Books LLC paperback

To Crown the Waves; The Great Navies of the First World War

201382420Annapolis Maryland: Naval Institute Press 2013. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. ix 1 349 1 pages. Includes list of Maps Tables and Illustrations as well as Acknowledgments Conclusion Appendix: Conversions and Abbreviations Notes Bibliography and Index. Chapters cover Austria-Hungary: Die Kaiserliche und Konigliche Kriegsmarine; France: La Marine Nationale; Germany: Kaiserliche Marine; Great Britain: The Royal Navy; Italy: Regia Marina; Russia: Rossiiskii imperatorskii flot; United States: The U.S. Navy; Other Navies; and Conclusion. Includes 7 maps 74 Tables and 32 Illustrations. O'Hara has led a team of experts in writing a uniform and comprehensive study of each of the major and minor navies of World War I. Each navy is described from their history to their warships and their design; ports and resources that they had available; their training strategic and tactical doctrine and conduct of the war on over and under the waves. This is an excellent introduction to the navies of all of the major and minor powers of World War I. Vincent P. O'Hara born 24 December 1951 is a naval author and historian. Vincent O'Hara has a degree in History from the University of California Berkeley. O'Hara has authored co-authored or edited twelve books and contributed articles to publications including Naval War College Review Storia Militare Seaforth World Naval Review America in WWII World War II and World War II History. He was an assistant editor of ABC Clio's Encyclopedia of World War II at Sea and wrote introductions to two volumes of the U.S. Naval Operations in World War II series by Samuel E. Morison republished by the Naval Institute. The only comparative analysis available of the great navies of World War I--each chapter is written by a recognized expert fluent in the subject language. The work studies the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom John Roberts the German Kaiserliche Marine Dr. Peter Schenk with Axel Niestlé and Dieter Thomaier the United States Navy Trent Hone the French Marine Nationale Jean Moulin the Italian Regia Marina Enrico Cernuschi and Vincent P. O'Hara the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine Zvonimir Freivogel and the Imperial Russian Navy Stephen McLaughlin to demonstrate why the war was won not in the trenches but upon the waves. It explains why these seven fleets fought the way they did and why the war at sea did not develop as the admiralties and politicians of 1914 expected. After discussing each navy's goals and circumstances and how their individual characteristics impacted the way they fought the authors deliver a side-by-side analysis of the conflict's fleets with each chapter covering a single navy. Parallel chapter structures assure consistent coverage of each fleet--history training organization doctrine materiel and operations--and allow readers to easily compare information among the various navies. The book clearly demonstrates how the naval war was a collision of 19th century concepts with 20th century weapons that fostered unprecedented development within each navy and sparked the evolution of the submarine and aircraft carrier. The work is free from the national bias that infects so many other books on World War I navies. As they pioneer new ways of viewing the conflict the authors provide insights and material that would otherwise require a massive library and mastery of multiple languages. Such a study has special relevance today as 20th-century navies struggle to adapt to 21st-century technologies. Naval Institute Press hardcover
