An excellent overview about a largely unknown and ignored phase of World War II. Namely: The British attack and destruction of the French Fleet in 1940. The victor writes the history books, as they say, so this blemish has mostly gone unacknowledged.

This book gives a blow-by-blow breakdown on the events leading up to the bombardment, and the aftermath as well.
