Hello!
I would like to know if there are any books ( of the narrative history kind ) with the main subject being the Indian Ocean Raid.
I did a bit of research and I found two books, but they don't seem to be written from the action point-of-view.
Other than that, doesn't seem like the Indian Ocean Raid was considered eventful enough to have more books written about it.
Books specifically on the Indian Ocean Raid are somewhat few and far between, as you note. John Clancy's The Most Dangerous Moment of the War: Japan's Attack on the Indian Ocean, 1942 is a decent overview of the topic. It's on the shorter side, but it's a reasonably thorough presentation of events (and about the only modern one you'll find). That said, it is more a work of popular history than academic history. I'd also recommend Boyd's The Royal Navy in Eastern Waters. While much of the book is concerned with British strategy in the Far East, the final chapter is solely concerned with the Indian Ocean Raid. It provides a detailed narrative of Eastern Fleet's actions, and studies Somerville's thinking in-depth. Beyond these, you'll have to turn to more general histories of the Royal Navy during WWII or of the war against Japan.
