Description

The Battle of the Atlantic was a pivotal moment in World War II, with the US Navy's escort warships facing off against Hitler's U-boats. This detailed study explores the individual duels fought between these two forces, from December 1941 to May 1945. The technical details of the U-boats, destroyers, and destroyer escorts involved are brought to life through stunning illustrations, including ship and submarine profiles and weaponry artworks. Key clashes are also recreated in dramatic battlescenes, such as USS Kearny vs. U-568 and USS Roper (DD-147) vs U-85. By examining these individual actions, Mark Lardas sheds light on the crucial role played by the US Navy in the Battle of the Atlantic, and how it ultimately contributed to the Allied victory.
