Seller's Description:
Very good. ix, [1], 96, [2] pages. Foreword by Jean Hood. Foreword by Erminio Bagnasco. Appendix I-IV, Bibliography. Vincent P. O'Hara (Born 24 December 1951) is a naval author and historian. Vincent O'Hara is an independent scholar with a degree in History from the University of California, Berkeley. O'Hara has authored, co-authored or edited eleven books and contributed articles to publications, including Naval War College Review, MHQ, Storia Militare, Warship, Seaforth World Naval Review, America in WWII, World War II, and World War II History. He is an assistant editor of ABC Clio's Encyclopedia of World War II at Sea and has written introductions to two volumes of the U.S. Naval Operations in World War II series by Samuel E. Morison republished by the U.S. Naval Institute. O'Hara was awarded the Naval Institute Press 2015 Author of the Year for Torch: North Africa and the Allied Path to Victory. This is the story of the Regia Marina and the Italian armistice of September 1943. It is a deeply-researched and highly readable exploration of this confusing and fascinating corner of history. It refutes the conventional notion that Italy's fleet abjectly surrendered to Allied power. It shows how the navy paved Italy's path from enemy to co-belligerent with the blood and unconquered spirit of its men. Despite German and Allied intentions to secure Italy's fleet for their own uses, it remained Italian to the end: a dark navy-not victorious, but undefeated. DARK NAVY is a masterful account of the Regia Marina's role in the Armistice of September 1943. The authors are to be commended for overturning the propagandist mythology which has often marred English-language histories of this difficult period in Italian history. DARK NAVY gives an excellent overview of the naval, air, and land impact on the Italian military at the time of the 8 September 1943 Armistice.
