Written immediately after the war, this account of the operations of this special unit of the Royal Italian Navy immerses the reader in a world in which technology and efficiency come together to make the Xa MAS an extraordinary formation. The soldiers, later known as "torpedo men", performed military feats that terrified the feared British Royal Navy. From the development of the first attack craft in 1935 to the planned attack on New York harbour in 1943, the reader learns more about the story of a handful of men who dared to go to extremes in war.
