Such a book has not existed yet!
In the quarter century that has passed since the collapse of the USSR, not a single full-fledged analytical work has been created on the actions of the Soviet Navy in the Great Patriotic War. Either revisionist “exposés” were published, or analyses of individual battles—but comprehensive studies that would reflect on the situation as a whole have not been published to this day.
This book is the first.
In this new research by leading Navy historians, based on materials from both domestic and Western archives, you will find not only exhaustive information about the combat employment of the Black Sea Fleet in the Great Patriotic War, but also a professional assessment of the sides’ plans and how they were put into practice, as well as unique statistical data published for the first time.
