Book excerpt: Written shortly after World War II, the summary of the Battle of Cape Matapan draws on first-hand accounts of action on both sides. Unearthed from archives, the vivid and compelling detail is reproduced and newly published as Dark Seas. During the battle, the enemy was hunted, trailed, avoided and engaged. Accurate intelligence combined with the inaccurate and misleading in the 'fog of war'. This is a unique insight into one of the last fleet engagements in naval history. The foreword is written by an officer who served in the action, HRH Prince Phillip. The introduction, by Dr. Jane Harrold, guides the reader through intriguing facts and figures, putting the summary in context and embellishing the historical information, including a useful bibliography.
