New book on the RSI Italian Navy 1943-45

There is a new book that covers the actions of the small craft operated by Fascist Italy at the end of WW2. A large portion of the small craft encountered by the Allies off the coast of Italy 1944-45 were infact RSI operated.

I reviewed a copy of the draft and it is an incredible read and a must have for a coastal forces library.

Hi

Given the gravitas of both the authors it's no
wonder the book is a good one.

Hopefully see your review soon (unless I've missed it)

Regards

Actually E.Cernuschi made a bit a un-surprising article, defending (it appears for for mere matter of patriotic pride) the old italian claim of the damaging of Soviet cruiser Molotov in Black Sea.
Without giving cradits (or even taking time to check them) the actual data coming from the cruiser (that strongly point air attack as the cause of torpedoing, or clear mention of Kriegsmarine KTB of German aircraft presence) and sort-of insulting all the internet-based research...
