The Royal Navy in World War II: An Annotated Bibliography / Edition 2

by Derek G. Law, Martin Gordon

Overview

The Royal Navy in World War II is a comprehensive annotated bibliography of all monographs describing the role of British, Dominion, and minor allied forces in the naval war against the Axis.

This second edition contains 1,400 more entries than its predecessor and although mainly concerned with the Royal Navy, it does offer extensive coverage on the Dominion Navies of Australia, Canada, India, and South Africa as well as the minor allied navies of the occupied European countries. Coverage of the US Navy's involvement in the Atlantic and Caribbean Theaters is also included.

A wonderful reference for historians, librarians, and navy buffs.
