Interesting new angle on the Battle of the Atlantic which benefits from the author's research and recently released papers.

The authoritative naval historian Bernard Ireland takes a fresh and fascinating look at the long and bitter struggle waged by the Allies against the Nazi U-boat threat. After sifting through the evidence, old and new, he questions the popular theory that it was a 'damn close-run thing'. He cites the massive resources that the United States brought to bear both at sea and in their shipyards, together with advances in technology and the breaking of German codes by Enigma. Far from 'revisionist' history, this is a closely argued work that demands reading.

"...takes a deep dive into Nazi Germany’s attempt to subjugate Britain by cutting its transatlantic supply lines during World War II."

"...a great read, full of interesting stories about the convoy battles fought by the ships of the Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy and U.S. Navy against the Kriegsmarine U-boats."
