Even though this was published in Berlin 1941 it seems authentic.

i'm reading two books, at the moment:

Marching Orders by Bruce Lee (the author not the martial artist)
Excellent Book on the WWII decisions made by all sides due to the code-breaking and cryptoanalysis by each each side. Clearly, the Allies got the better of it, but this book delves into what was known by the Allied Leadership at the critical junctions of the war, based on recently re-classified WWII messages that were not available when Ike and Bradley, etc wrote their biographies.

Armada by Colin Martin.
20th century book updated in 2022.
Tells the story of the demise of the Spanish Empire in the 16th century and the rise of the English Navy, which would become the pre-eminent naval force for nearly four hundred years.
