To try to cut off these lines of supply the British deployed submarines from the besieged island of Malta with the directive to sink as much merchant convoy tonnage as possible. Italy responded by sending her Torpedo boats to protect and escort Axis convoys.Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and carefully chosen archive photographs, this engaging study assesses the evolving battle between Britain's submarines and Italy's torpedo boats in the struggle for primacy in the Mediterranean at the height of World War II.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 305gAuthor: David GreentreeIllustrator: Ian Palmer, Peter DennisContributor: Ian Palmer (Illustrated by), Peter Dennis (Illustrated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Military History, Law & PoliticsBook Series: DuelRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
