Came across this interesting book, Whispering Death, to add to the list. http://www.powells.com/biblio/61-9781552123874-0 Dunno what it is about ops from Malta. They really push my buttons. And Beaus...well...
Unfortunate choice of title though: Err, no it wasn't - the name has usually, and erroneously, been attributed to the Beau being called that by the Japanese, but in fact was a propaganda name created by a RAF man who claimed that this is what the Japanese called it. But the book looks very interesting - there is a mention of Heide in The Armed Rovers (which is an overall history of the Beaus in the Med). Damn, another book on the list. Cheers Andy. People can have a look inside the book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Whispering-...1251061?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189586483&sr=8-1
Not peace but a Sword arrived by surface mail while I was away. Hanging out for it as I managed to finally get Gibbs' Torpedo Leader a couple of months ago but not going to read it until I read 'Sword. Armed Rovers should be turning up soon too! Scored it for US$3 plus $12.95 postage. Less than $20 in my money so happy with that!
