Description
The French Navy in World War II by Jacques Mordal is a detailed account of the naval history of France during the Second World War. Prior to its publication in 1959, the story of the French Navy's experiences during this period was largely unknown, with many misconceptions surrounding its fate. This book sets the record straight, revealing the complex and often fraught situation faced by the French Navy as it struggled to preserve France's foreign possessions and supply the mother country, while also navigating the conflicting interests of internal and international politics.
