A bold and authoritative maritime history of World War II which takes a
fully international perspective and challenges our existing
understanding.
The battle for control of the seas was crucial to determining the
outcome of the Second World War. But how, facing the supremely
effective German war machine, could Britain, the US and their allies
successfully block the enemy at sea?
In this authoritative and richly detailed account of wartime sea power,
Evan Mawdsley traces events from the first German U boat operations in
September 1939 through to the surrender of the last U boats in May
1945. Covering all the major battles in the Pacific and the Atlantic
oceans, War for the Seas surveys the efforts of sea powers both major
and minor, including the British Empire, United States, Japan and
Germany as well as France, Italy and the Soviet Union. Mawdsley
discusses the role of individual leaders, technical competition and
change, and logistics and intelligence and provides a host of new
insights into the epic struggle to defeat the Axis powers.
