Van der Vat reminds readers that the Allies came close to losing both World Warsper web. for exactly the same reason: massive destruction of shipping. In what PW called a "comprehensive study," the author details air/naval confrontations across the vast Atlantic battlefield from 1939 to 1945.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliantly written; an exiting and informative read, October 17, 1998

This review is from: The Atlantic Campaign: World War Ii's Great Struggle at Sea (Paperback)

Even if this book is currently somewhat harder to come by, this is definitely the book to read if you want insight in this all-important part of WW II as well as an eminently readable book. Mr. Van der Vat's background as a journalist clearly shows, as well as his and his wife's thorough research on the subject. One of the few of my history books that stands re-reading without losing its grip.

Thorough and very readable. Like good history makes you want to read on even though you know the ending.
