The author Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood commanded the U.S. submarine force in the Pacific. This book examines how the strategy was formed ad implemented. He does this through his own diaries and by reports made by submarines. This book is an important document for anyone interested in how the submarine force won thier part of the Pacfic campaign.

Before author Clay Blair published his epic "Silent Victory" in 1975, this was "THE" reference work on the U.S.submarine fleet during World War 2.Admiral Lockwood ultimately commanded the Navy's subs in the Pacific by 1943,and these are a compilation of his,and his skippers,stories.Multitudes of war patrols are covered,as well as interesting anecdotes and legends from different submarine's experiences. He also discusses many of the personalities of his various sub commanders,as well as those of other men associated with the "Silent Service".He covers in depth the loss of the 52 American submarines which did not return from the war,as well.A very entertaining,well written account of World War 2 below the waves,I give it 10 stars !!!!!!!!
