British Battleship vs Italian Battleship

Stille, M: 2020 Osprey UK, softcover, 80 pages, with photos, maps and illustrations. British Battleship vs Italian Battleship; The Mediterranean 1940–41 by Mark Stille examines the three occasions in 1940–1941 when British and Italian battleships directly faced each other in the struggle for control of the Mediterranean, focusing on Calabria, Cape Spartivento, and Cape Matapan and the wider convoy battles around them. The book compares design, armament, fire control, doctrine, and crew training of Queen Elizabeth–class and Italian rebuilt and new battleships, and assesses why British ships generally achieved tactical and strategic superiority despite capable Italian units.
