Description

Turning the Tide: How a Small Band of Allied Sailors Defeated the U-boats and Won the Battle of the Atlantic The Battle of the Atlantic was one of the deadliest naval conflicts in history, with tens of thousands of lives lost. If the German U-boats had succeeded in severing the lifeline between the US and Britain, it would have given Germany a crucial advantage in World War II. Using extensive research in German, British, and American archives, Ed Offley presents a gripping account of this pivotal conflict. Through interviews with key survivors on both sides, he brings to life the pivotal episodes of this critical struggle, showing how the Allies nearly lost but ultimately regained victory in both the Atlantic and Europe.
