RECENSIONE La qualità dei libri di Paul KEMP è solitamente elevata e questo non si smentisce. Anche le foto son molto belle a parte alcune scattate in momenti drammatici, ma ciò è comprensibile. L' opera è divisa in 11 capitoli che trattano dei vari aspetti della guerra sul mare: le battaglie navali "tradizionali", le portaerei, la difesa del commercio marittimo, la guerra sottomarina, le operazioni anfibie ecc.ecc. Le foto riguardano tutte le Marine protagoniste con una certa "scarsità" per quel che riguarda la REGIA MARINA. A tal proposito c'è il cap. 8 (The Commanders) che tratta degli Ammiragli, amici e nemici, che combatterono questa guerra. Non c' è nessun Italiano! :s12: :s07: :s14: :s06: L' unico Amm. Italiano è nel cap. 11 (Victory and defeat) che mostra il nostro DA ZARA mentre sbarca a Malta in occasione del tragico armistizio. Tra l' altro la didascalia lo identifica come Romeo OLIVA :s07: :s02: .

Più di tutto noi siam citati in modo lusinghiero nel cap 9 (Midget submarines).

Per curiosità nel cap 10 (Life at sea; pag. 173) c' è una didascalia dal contenuto così banale (All sailors, of whatever navy, hoped for a safe return to land) che non ho potuto far a meno di aggiungerci a penna "Ma davvero?!" :s03:

Grazie all' Inglese semplice ed alle brevi didascalie è una lettura affrontabile da chiunque abbia un mimnimo di conoscenza con questa lingua. Grazie per l' attenzione.

non sono d'accordo con Alfabravo59, possiedo il libro.. ma sicuramente non lo acquisterei una seconda volta, se potessi

Diceva VOLTAIRE "Non condivido il tuo pensiero, ma darei la vita affinchè tu lo possa esprimere". Ebbene, mi piacerebbe sentire le Tue idee in merito!

perchè di Paul Kemp possiedo anche "Royal Navy in World War II" ed è pieno di errori... penso che quando inizi a sfornare libri come fossero croissants alla fine la qualità vada a farsi benedire.....

Sarei interessato a saperne di più: potresti fare una recensione segnalando quelle cose che a Tuo parere son errate?

NON LO DICO IO CHE NON SONO ESPERTO.. MA TANTO PER FARE UN ESEMPIO GUARDA QUESTA LISTA APPARSA SU UBOAT NET

CI SONO 143 ERRATA CORRIGE, LA MAGGIOR PARTE DEI QUALI RIGUARDA I NOMI DEI COMANDANTI DEGLI UBOOTE.. LIBRO SCRITTO DA PAUL KEMP NEL 2000, NON NEL 1950.... OVVERO QUANDO HAI FRETTA, QUANDO SCRIVI SOLAMENTE PER RAGIONI COMMERCIALI RISCHI DI SCRIVERE QUELLO CHE CAPITA

145 There are two inacuracies regarding U 760. Kemp says it was the attack by VB-103 on 12 August 1943 that forced her to enter Vigo. Then he says the boat was interned because "the tide of the war having turned in the Allies' favour, the Spanish were not going to be seen cooperating too closely with the Germans". On September 8, 1943, U-760 was sailing on the surface alongside the U-262 when they were attacked by a British Wellington aircraft (Sqdn 179/C) about 150 miles out of Cape of Finisterre. The U-760 arrived at Vigo harbor and was put under the supervision of the Spanish Navy cruiser Navarra. After 24 hours the boat had not left the harbor (the neutrality laws allowed this time frame for emergency repairs and such) and it was interned.
