About the Author:

Epaminondas Kavvadias (1886–1965) was a distinguished Greek admiral and naval commander. He served three times as Chief of the Navy General Staff and led the Greek fleet during the early years of World War II, including the Greco-Italian War of 1940–41. After the German invasion, he guided the Greek fleet to safety in the Middle East, where it continued to fight alongside the Allies. His long career also included service as Vice Minister for Naval Affairs in the government-in-exile and later as naval attaché in London.

About the Book:

This monumental work is both a first-hand memoir and a detailed historical account of the naval operations during the Greco-Italian War and World War II. Richly detailed and illustrated, it offers invaluable insights into Greek naval strategy, battles, and diplomacy of the period.

A rare signed copy of a significant contribution to 20th-century naval and World War II history.
