I recently commemorated the one-year anniversary of the release of my first book, The Longest Campaign, Britain’s Maritime Struggle in the Atlantic and Northwest Europe, 1939-1945. Today, I am happy to announce that on Friday I concluded an agreement with my publisher, Casemate UK, to publish my second book. This new book is tentatively entitled Blue Water War, the Maritime Struggle in the Mediterranean and Middle East, 1940-1945. As the name suggests, the book is a follow-up to The Longest Campaign and will cover the maritime struggle in the Mediterranean theatre during World War II. As with my previous book, it will also go into great detail regarding the corresponding ground combat that took place within the theatre (namely in North Africa, Italy and Southern France). The book is tentatively scheduled to be released in the Spring of 2022. I will provide further updates as more details become available. In the meantime, my current book, The Longest Campaign, remains available for anyone interested in reading it.
