The War Against the Nazi U-Boats 1942-1944: The Antisubmarine Command
The "Lost Histories of World War II" series is a fascinating, photo-filled collection of never-before-seen, recently de-classified accounts of important episodes in World War II chronicles.
The War Against the Nazi U-Boats 1942–1944 is the second book in the "Lost Histories" series. As Churchill clung to the last thread of hope, the supplies he so desperately needed sank into the Atlantic Ocean as German wolf packs savaged the convoys headed to England. To fight the threat, an audacious plan was created to counter the German submarines using long-range bombers. In this lost history, the role of American B-24 Liberators is told in exacting detail from a narrative written in 1945 when the information was fresh and the facts unvarnished. A must-have addition to any World War II library!

Five stars for the content. Three stars for the dry writing style. One star for the typo that occur every three pages or so. (It seems like spell check was the only proofreading done. The typos were of the tow vs two, than-then, that-what, now-not variety that wouldn't be caught by spell check.) Averages out to three stars.
