The submarine emerged as a serious weapons system during the First
World War (1914 - 1918). During that conflict Germany with its
unrestricted submarine warfare campaign of 1917 nearly drove Great
Britain to the negotiating table. Its U-boats sank 6,196 ships of
13,438,632 gross register tons. Despite post-war attempts to ban
the submarine from warfare, it survived. Both Italy and Germany
used submarines, covertly, during the Spanish Civil War (1936 -
1939). This book, Part Two of a series, discusses the use of
submarines during World War Two (1939 - 1945) and their
effectiveness. It focuses principally on two strategic submarine
campaigns. The first is about German U-boats against British and
neutral commerce. That campaign finally failed during the Battle of
The Atlantic in 1943. The second deals with American submarines
against Japanese shipping from Southeast Asia to the home islands,
a campaign that successfully isolated Japan from its sources of raw
materials and foodstuffs during 1944 and effectively defeated
Japan.
