The world of elite naval units - frogmen, commandos, midget submarines, demolition squads - and their operations are the subject of this history. It traces their development from the first such units in the 1890s to Italian/Austrian operations in World War I and the rise of the Italian MAS service between the wars. There is coverage of Japanese naval raids (including Pearl Harbor and Sydney), the Royal Navy X-Craft used in the Tirpitz attack, Mediterranean spying operations, German use of designs which failed to impede the Allies, Japanese suicide weapons and various unusual designs and operations, a planned Italian raid on New York, and the post-war rise of midget submarines and subsequent Soviet interest. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005143379
