This is an excellent book, dealing with all the naval events happened in the 1939/1945 period. The book is arranged in chronological order, in the sense that you can find an entry dealing with a single day or with a given period (i.e. June, 4th-6th 1942, Battle of Midway), in order to keep together facts logically related, but spanned over a period of more than one day. Moreover there is a subdivision dealing with operational theatres (Mediterranean, Northern Atlantic, Western Pacific and so on) so one can easily find all the relevant facts regarding a given theatre in a given day or period. The only drawback is that if you are looking for a specific day, you have to search for in every period containing that given day to be sure to find everything.
This is an excellent book, a very useful one containing information regarding not only the major events or ships, but also the minor ones (you can find that in a given day a minesweeper hit a mine and sank). Worth adding to every naval enthusiast's library.
