Books on Naval Actions?

[bradclark1]

Are there any that just cover actions from WWI to WWII? Not a history of naval warfare type thing.

Goodness, where do I begin????? You need to be much more specific in what you're looking for. Pacific/Atlantic, Surface/submarine warfare, Army/Navy/Air Force, etc. Here's a Naval Institute Press link that might be helpful. Good Hunting!

Yes to all of the above except for submarines as I've read just about all of them.

Amazon is always a good choice too, but I'm stating the obvious. :yep:

I know that, but what I am after is titles.

"Castles of Steel: Britain, Germany and the Winning of the Great War at Sea" by Robert K. Massie is an excellent book if you want to read about the Grand Fleet and the High Seas Fleet in WW1.

Thank you, Bill. Salvo was the one I was going to recommend, but kept forgetting to look at the author's name when I was home.
