About the Author:
Edwin P. Hoyt is the author of Japan's War, 199 Days: The Battle for Stalingrad, and How They Won the War in the Pacific: Nimitz and His Admirals. He lives in Tokyo, Japan.
Review:
The main show 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! Shocking. (Publishers Weekly)
Outstanding (Booklist)
Drawing on German, British, and American archives, this, like Hoyt's many other war books, is a crackling narrative. It is factual, fast-paced, and gripping. He brings history alive and is always fresh and never dull. (World War II History)
