Editorial Reviews

Review

Never has the Battle of the Atlantic of 1943 been treated with such scholarly diligence and in such detail as in this monograph, a feature that will appeal to naval history enthusiasts.
Newport News (Va.) Daily Press

Syrett has written an important, detailed history of the Allied war against the U-boats. Strongly recommended for all collections in WWII and naval history.
Choice

Syrett skillfully develops a coherent narrative, describing various measures used by the Allies to search and destroy U-boats. . . . A very good book.
Naval War College Review

Other authors have recounted details of this longest, largest, and most complex naval battle in history, but Syrett breaks new ground. In addition to demonstrating his wide knowledge of source material with extensive notes, he includes the intelligence side of the Battle of the Atlantic.

without you I could not find these books
first because they do not know, in France, to write such books Secondly they would not know we do'nt discover because it has no library as smart and as rich as the vôtres.et This is where the role you play is also essential

A Mediocre Work

September 6, 2000

Format: Hardcover

This book examines the Battle of the Atlantic from the viewpoint of code-breaking and its influence on the struggle against the U-Boats. The author takes the stand that code-breaking, radio-intercepts, and radio-direction finding were the be-all and end-all of the conflict. Very little of the other technologies and tactics are present in this book. Although the radio intercepts did play a role, they were not the decisive factor in battle. It is unfortunate that more attention was not paid to these aspects. All-in-all, therefore, it makes a meager contribution to military history.
