But, and this may be even more interesting for the English-speaking readers, there are also many pages about the Italian naval strategy that was behind the desisgn, construction and use of these battleships, pages that, pratically, give a coincise but deep and serious understanding of Italian naval strategy in the late '30s. Moreover this books includes a chapter about the operative history of the ships of this class, with details about the battles and even the smaller actions to which they took part, providing also very detailed information about the damages suffered and inflicted.
I think it's worth every dollar spent, and maybe even some dollars more (but don't tell the publisher!
).Guido
