Hardback. Condition: Good. The first book to cover the major submarine campaigns in all the WWII theatres. The canvas is broad and deep, from the strategic perspective at the top to the cramped and claustrophobic life of the crews in their submersible steel tubes; from the feats of 'ace' commanders to the terrifying experiences of men under attack in this most pitiless form of warfare.
