Don't be put off by the blood&guts title. This is a naval historian's attempt to tell it as it really happened, with no punches pulled, and no propaganda. (There were plenty of blunders to go round.) What an epic and heroic struggle this was! The biggest and most important naval battle of WW2. I was 12 years old when this happened and I have not forgotten the valiant men who faught it.
