From aircraft carriers to submarines, assault ships to destroyers and cruisers, his paintings bring to life the incredible variety of warships that took part in the greatest naval conflict in history. Naval historian Bernard Ireland offers new insights to the conflict, investigating how German U-boats ultimately lost the battle of the Atlantic while US submarines annihiliated Japan's merchant navy. His own career in naval engineering enables him to reveal all sorts of hidden details that make Jane's Naval History of World War II a radical new contribution to 20th century history. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A good overview of a most important aspect of World War IIThis is a good introduction to naval combat as it was executed in World War II. The photography and diagrams provide interesting views of ships and tactics to those just learning about combat at sea as well as those who have been looking with interest at naval warfare for years. Although this is not an in-depth analysis or presentation of naval history, it does in my opinion delve into areas that are not in the mainstream of typical historical overviews, for which I am personally grateful. Read More Rating: - A good book with interesting photos and drawings.This is a good book about WWII at sea. It misses being a great book. I found so many typing mistakes, errors of fact, and mislabled photos that I wondered if anyone did any proof reading before it was printed. I expected more for the price. While good, it is no where near the quality of Jane's Fighting Ships of WWII.
