A bold and authoritative maritime history of World War II which
takes a fully international perspective and challenges our existing
understanding Command of the oceans was crucial to winning World
War II. By the start of 1942 Nazi Germany had conquered mainland
Europe, and Imperial Japan had overrun Southeast Asia and much of
the Pacific. How could Britain and distant America prevail in what
had become a "war of continents"? In this definitive account, Evan
Mawdsley traces events at sea from the first U-boat operations in
1939 to the surrender of Japan. He argues that the Allied
counterattack involved not just decisive sea battles, but a long
struggle to control shipping arteries and move armies across the
sea. Covering all the major actions in the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, as well as those in the narrow seas, this book interweaves
for the first time the endeavors of the maritime forces of the
British Empire, the United States, Germany, and Japan, as well as
those of France, Italy, and Russia.
