Overview

The book is a masterpiece of operational history, and is written with surprising candour, given that the author was a member of the Naval Staff.

The men who took part in these operations were drawn from Britain, Canada, America (particularly for the merchant service).

This book provides a detailed account of naval actions (with maps) based on close examination of all relevant documentation and interviews with principal participants.
