Reviews

[F]rom the very first pages, [the book] commands the reader's attention.... This book is a history game-changer in putting the Indian Ocean at the centre of Britain's war strategy as it evolved from 1939 to 1942. It is well-written and well researched: there are 85 pages of footnotes and the bibliography extends to 27 pages. --Warship, as part of the publication's Naval Books of the Year

This book is recommended for specialist naval historians as well as general readers interested in the Second World War at sea. - The Northern Mariner
