Synopsis
For more than sixty years the wartime secrecy surrounding U.S. submarines obscured their decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II. Submarines, comprising just 2% of the U.S. Navy, sank 55% of Japan's merchant ships and one-third of its navy. Now U.S. Submarines in World War II brings to life this extraordinary American undersea campaign with maps, photographs, unique drawings, and web animations. From Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay this book provides a periscope's view of the patrols, the losses, and the battles that broke the Japanese Empire and gave the United States the greatest naval victory in history.

Review
U.S. Submarines in World War II distills a great deal of information about American submarines, their crews, their patrols, their failures, and their successes into a very readable primer, liberally illustrated with nicely executed diagrams, simple but effective maps, and useful photos.... This is a very interesting and well-done introduction to the submarine campaign in the Pacific with a nicely laid-out, graphic-intensive design. --Stone and Stone - Second World War Books Website
In this highly researched work, Larry Kimmett and Margaret Regis have created a visual record of the U.S. submarine campaign against the island empire of Japan. The book concentrates on war patrols and island engagements across the Pacific Ocean, where most U.S. submarines fought and all confirmed sinkings by U.S. subs took place.... These stories, firsthand observations from war patrols, battle photos, and Margaret Regis' outstanding graphics combine to make a one-of-a-kind and long-awaited record of this incredible chapter in U.S. naval history. --World War II Magazine
This book is a gripping presentation of the saga of the Fleet Boats in the Pacific from 1941-45... If you're interested in Fleet Boats or WWII Pacific, this is definitely a book you're going to want. --The SubCommittee REPORT
