Description: THE U-BOAT WARS by Edwin P. Hoyt. NEW paperback reprint, 2002. The dramatic story of the rise and fall of Germany's submarine fleet in World War II. Four months into the war U-boats had sunk one-third of the British battleships; six months after America's entry half the United States' total tonnage lay on the ocean floor, sunk by just 6 German U-boats. Yet, by the war's end, three-quarters of the U-boat crews had been slain. The main emphasis here is the series of great convoy battles, during one of which the Germans sank 141,000 tons of Allied shipping with the loss of only one U-boat. This factual, fast-paced, and gripping narrative draws on German, British, and American archives to illuminate the deadly battles fought beneath the sea.NEW paperback reprint, unread with pages and edges clean and unmarked.
