This is a major reassessment of the causes of Allied victory in the
Second World War in the Mediterranean region. Drawing on a unique
range of multinational source material, Richard Hammond
demonstrates how the Allies' ability to gain control of the key
routes across the sea and sink large quantities of enemy shipping
denied the Axis forces in North Africa crucial supplies and proved
vital to securing ultimate victory there. Furthermore, the sheer
scale of attrition to Axis shipping outstripped their industrial
capacity to compensate, leading to the collapse of the Axis
position across key territories maintained by seaborne supply, such
as Sardinia, Corsica and the Aegean islands. As such, Hammond
demonstrates how the anti-shipping campaign in the Mediterranean
was the fulcrum about which strategy in the theatre pivoted, and
the vital enabling factor ultimately leading to Allied victory in
the region.
