Summary

"The deadly menace of German submarines very nearly brought defeat to the British in the early years of the Second World War. The U-boats, hunting in packs, wreaked havoc on Allied merchant ships and their vital cargoes, but in turn came to suffer horrendous losses, vanquished in the end by the superior tactics and technical supremacy of their pursuers." "Here are detailed accounts of individual U-boat actions, set in the context of the changing U-boat strategy. Robert C. Stern's researches highlight not just the faults that were to bring that strategy low but the extraordinary bravery of the unassuming men who had to put it into action."--Jacket.
