Summary: Thrilling!
Comment: Outstanding book on the history of the Decima MAS (10th Light Flotilla). This naval assault unit defined the term "frogmen" who were the originators of underwater warfare. They mastered the use of the "Human Torpedo" and "Explosive Motor Boats" and wrecked havoc on Allied ships. No longer did the Allies have the luxury of feeling secure in port. When I bought this book I could not put it down. Italian war heros such as Teseo, Borghese and de la Penne all come to life in this well written book. The great pictures are also worth noting.
If you are to buy any book on Italian World War Two actions, this is it! Highly, Highly Recommended!!

Summary: Amazing real life missions retold for the first time
Comment: I just received my copy of this excellent book yesterday from amazon.com, I must agree it's very well written and details the amazing missions of the 10th light comandos superbly!
It's a definite must buy if you're into military history, and it does do justice to the real exploits of this elite Italian unit that severely embarrassed and almost crippled the British Royal Navy led by Admiral Andrew Cunningham.
The latter of which led a campaign of misinformation by keeping any reference to the events detailed in this recount out of English history books in a hush hush propaganda campaign for almost 55 years now.
I've almost finished reading it am and now sadly at chapter 23 the last chapter in the book, sadly because the reader is left wanting more and one wishes thatthe Authors William Schofield and P.J. carisella would release a second volume as surely there is more to tell about the !0th light flottila than is covered in this brilliantly written volume...
If you have'nt read this book yet then I urge you to do so ...
It's a very good read indeed!
