With new material provided by leading naval historians from Australia and overseas, this revised edition of The Royal Australian Navy in World War II more fully examines the part the Royal Australian Navy played throughout six years of global conflict. Drawing on recently released official documents and the latest scholarly research, new light is shed on the vital importance of Australia's role in maritime campaigns in every theatre.The coverage ranges from the exploits of individual ships and men to the broad issues of strategy and naval policy. In lively accounts of operations ranging from the Atlantic through the Mediterranean and to the Pacific, both the triumphs and tragedies of war at sea are critically considered. The home front, too, is not neglected and the essential contributions of women and industry are analysed in detail.Illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, The Royal Australian Navy in World War II goes far towards encapsulating Australia's naval war in one volume.

This book spends too much focusing on the fact that the Royal Australian Navy was not the Roayal Navy. It also focused too litlle on the individual ships and their accomplishments and too much time on how they operated with other navies. Showing what the Royal Navy planned to base in Australia has nothing to do with the subject. Do not waste your money on this book.
