Winston Churchill claimed that the "U-boat peril" was the only
thing that ever frightened him during World War II. A formidable
foe, the U-boat was developed from a small coastal vessel into a
state-of-the-art killer, successfully stalking the high seas
picking off merchant convoy ships. It was not until the destroyer
escort was introduced, alongside the development of destroyer
groups with dedicated anti-submarine tactics, that there was an
effective means of defence and attack against the U-boat peril.
Gordon Williamson describes the design and development of these two
deadly opponents, their strengths and weaknesses and of their
tactics, weaponry and training. He provides an insight into the
lives of the Allied Navy and Wolf Pack crews as they played their
deadly games of cat and mouse on the high seas, gambling not only
with their lives but with the fate of their nations.
