Description:From 1939 Until 1942, Hitler's U-boats -- the submarine fleet dubbed the "gray wolves" -- threatened to accomplish what his air force had been unable to achieve: to starve Britain into submission. The ensuing struggle for control of the Atlantic trade routes was to become the longest, and one of the most bitterly fought, campaigns of World War II. Battles might be won or lost, Winston Churchill later wrote, but the island nation's power to continue the fight depended, above all, on the outcome of this war-within-a-war. The U-boat attack was, Churchill recalled, "the only thing that ever really frightened me during the war." The submarine battle was of such strategic importance that it devoured manpower and led to astounding losses: Over the course of this sprawling conflict, Allied powers would lose more than fifty thousand seamen and fifteen million tons of shipping. In this rousing historical narrative, Andrew Williams vividly recounts these crucial years of battle against the dreaded German "wolf packs." Through exclusive interviews with survivors on both sides, including those given for the first time by former U-boat crew members, he creates a compelling picture of the claustrophobic and dangerous life on board. With breathtaking immediacy, The Battle of the Atlantic also enters the war rooms where leaders such as U-boat Fuhrer Karl Donitz and Royal Navy Admiral Sir Max Horton angled for any advantage in a race that spelled doom to its loser, and follows the trials of the code-breakers, the unheralded few whose critical contributions ultimately changed the course of the battle -- and the war. Highlighted by hitherto untold tales of personal valor, endurance, and loss, it is an important and lasting contribution to our understanding of one of the greatest battles of the twentieth century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
