ABOUT
This narrative history of undersea warfare is particularly useful in its coverage of the world wars.
Van der Vat describes the evolution of submarine tactics and technology, the difficulty of coordinating submarine operations for maximum effect, and the problem of deciding whether warships or merchantmen made the more profitable target. He also presents the evolution of countermeasures-convoys and hunter-killer groups-and makes strong cases for the nearly decisive effect of German U-boats during World War I and the major contributions of U.S. submarines to the defeat of Japan between 1941 and 1945.
Illustrated with monochrome images and maps.
