STEPHEN, Martin, edited by GROVE, Eric. Sea Battles in Close-Up: World War 2. 224p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Ian Allan, 1988. ISBN: 0711015961.

The Battle of the River Plate, the attack on Taranto, the Battle of Matapan, the sinking of Hood and Bismarck, the sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse, the Channel Dash, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Barents Sea, and the sinking of the Scharnhorst. Based on the excellent individual volumes published by Ian Allan in the 1970s, this is a rather disappointing update and expansion. A second and better volume was later produced by Grove alone. Still a useful and concise set of accounts.
