About this listen
Sweeping from the frigid waters of the North Atlantic to the steaming South Pacific, this riveting chronicle of submarine warfare is the first to cover all the major submarine campaigns of the war, describing, in detail, the operations of the British, American, Japanese, Italian, and German submarine and anti-submarine forces.
Beginning with a vivid re-creation of the sinking of the passenger liner Athenia by a German U-boat in September 1939, critically acclaimed military historian Peter Padfield's compelling narrative casts an unflinching eye on the devastating consequences of maritime warfare. The often harrowing encounters unfold with urgency and power, balanced by his keen sense of objectivity and perspective.
Exploring the full spectrum of the submarine and anti-submarine warfare experience, this brilliantly detailed account pulls no punches. Facts and figures that stagger the imagination are revealed in starkly human terms, and disturbing questions abound. Padfield addresses the controversial issues raised with candor and insight, and the result is not only an impressive achievement but a milestone work in the history of the 20th century.

Informed and Entertaining
Loved it , has to be the most in depth of any WW2 submarine books out there. Bonus chapters leading to and end of war makes this compelling book one of the best.
I'm so glad this is on Audible . It's going to be hard
to find any other Audible books this good on this genre.

Brilliant
A superbly researched, written and narrated book. One of those few books I will return to and listen to again. Unbiased, told it how it surely was and from all sides. Well done.

Possibly the most unbiased war book I have read.
Possibly the most unbiased war book I have read. The submarine stats can be a bit heavy at times but overall this a great piece of work with some very sad moments.
