War Beneath the Sea

Focusing on the pivotal submarine campaigns of World War II, this book offers a comprehensive account of both submarine and anti-submarine warfare across various theaters. It highlights the underwhelming effectiveness of Japanese submarines in the Pacific and the precarious situation Britain faced against German U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. The narrative includes fresh insights into the capture of the Enigma cipher machine and harrowing stories of sailors in peril, complemented by 16 pages of previously unpublished photographs.
