À propos de cet audio

Opening with the 1930 London Conference, Symonds shows how any limitations on naval warfare would become irrelevant before the decade was up, as Europe erupted into conflict once more and its navies were brought to bear against each other. World War II at Sea offers a global perspective, focusing on the major engagements and personalities and revealing both their scale and their interconnection: the U-boat attack on Scapa Flow and the Battle of the Atlantic; the "miracle" evacuation from Dunkirk and the pitched battles for control of Norway fjords; Mussolini's Regia Marina - at the start of the war the fourth-largest navy in the world - and the dominance of the Kidö Butai and Japanese naval power in the Pacific; Pearl Harbor then Midway; the struggles of the Russian Navy and the scuttling of the French Fleet in Toulon in 1942; the landings in North Africa and then Normandy. Here as well are the notable naval leaders - FDR and Churchill, both self-proclaimed "Navy men," Karl Dönitz, François Darlan, Ernest King, Isoroku Yamamoto, Erich Raeder, Inigo Campioni, Louis Mountbatten, William Halsey, as well as the hundreds of thousands of seamen and officers of all nationalities whose live were imperiled and lost during the greatest naval conflicts in history.

An absorbing book that is both well written and well produced. I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.

Well-written Account of the Navel History of WW II

An incredibly detailed account of naval warfare during World War II with great narration. I especially enjoyed the coverage of the Italian and German surface navies as that is one area that I have not been exposed to as much compared to say German submarine warfare. The insights into the leading Admirals and captains, expressed via primary sources (where possible) were also very well done. For such an expansive timeline and subject, the author does a good job organizing the chapters so that events across all theatres follow a close chronological order without much jumping around. Would certainly recommend to those interested in learning more about naval warfare, or even those looking to expand their knowledge by looking at a more holistic picture of the war across all combatants.

Great balance of story telling and historical fact

This was a great book for anyone that loves WWII navy history. It gives all sides of the story and why each side did what they did. The book wrapped up nicely as well with an account of what happened to some of the main players in the after the war.

Amazing detailed account from all sides

An amazing story and we'll worth knowing but a remarkably dull telling of it. Still good to hear but should be better.

Falls strangely flat

Found this book thanks to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. He sited it as a source, and I was overjoyed to find it in audio book format. The detail recorded is incredibly interesting, and the flow of events through the book as well as the authors choice of focus on different theaters and diplomatic relations makes for an engaging but logical explanation. The narrator's tone and reading style may seem monotonous to some, but I found them very fitting to a history book and respectful to the events recorded.
