About the Book
The U-boat was developed from a small coastal vessel into a state-of-the-art killer, stalking the high seas and picking off merchant convoys. It was only with the introduction of the destroyer escort, with dedicated anti-submarine tactics that the Allies were able to wrest control of the ocean from the Germans. This provides an insight into the lives of the Allied Navy and Wolf Pack crews, their tactics, strengths and weaknesses as they played their deadly games of cat and mouse on the high seas.
