The story of the Battle of the Atlantic. For nearly six years the German U-boat force attempted to blockade the British Isles. They failed in their objective but sank 2800 Allied merchant ships at a cost of nearly 800 U-boats lost. Thousands of sailors lost their lives. This is a definitive account of the years 1939-42 and the first to take account of Allied penetration of naval codes and vice versa, for so long kept secret. With comprehensive detailed appendices.
