DESTROYER BATTLES: EPICS OF NAVAL CLOSE COMBAT by Robert C. Stern; PUBLISHER: Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD; a 2008 printing; 272 pages.
Fast, manoeuvrable and heavily armed, destroyers were the most aggressive surface warships of the twentieth century. Although originally conceived as a defensive screen to protect the main battlefleet from torpedo attack, the gamekeeper soon turned poacher, and became primarily a weapon of offense. As such they were involved in many hard-fought battles, using both torpedoes and guns, especially with enemy vessels of the same kind. This book recounts some of the most significant, spectacular or unusual actions in the history of destroyer warfare.
CONDITION: Some light wear to DJ. Sticker residue on first page. No other known damage.
