Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the submarine campaigns of World War II, this book offers a comprehensive look at both submarine and anti-submarine warfare across various theaters. It highlights the underwhelming effectiveness of Japanese submarines in the Pacific and Britain's precarious survival against German U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. Additionally, it uncovers new insights into the capture of the Enigma cipher machine and shares harrowing accounts of sailors in peril. The book is enriched with 16 pages of photographs, many of which are previously unpublished.
