Unsung Heroes,
By Michael Clisham, D.P.M. (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tenth Fleet: The True Story of the U.S. Navy's "Phantom" Fleet Battling U-Boats During World War II (Paperback)
A great expose of a piece of history not widely know.A great deal of WW II naval warfare is focused on the PTO but very minimal is written about the naval exploits in the Atlantic. This publication is a real eye opener of the tremendous obstacles that had to be overcome to win the land war in Europe.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Tenth Fleet: The True Story of the U.S. Navy's "Phantom" Fleet Battling U-Boats During World War II (Paperback)
Ladislas Farrago was there and describes how poorly the US first responded to the U Boats at the beginning of WWII. Lucky for us Doenitz was so sure of himself that he ran a centralized operation that limited the initiative of U Boat commanders. And lucky that Hitler did not ever put sufficient resources to the U Boats war. This book brings much to light that is not generally known. There was a book out after this one -Black Sunday I believe- that covered some of the same material but this one has additional info. Also, it was written during the cold war so it talks about our vulnerability to Russian Subs.Packrat
