Battle of the Atlantic

This is an accessible, insightful and authoritative account of how the Allied naval blockade maintained control of the seas, keeping supply lines open and enabling Britain to continue to fight.

Historian, author and broadcaster James Holland draws on the latest research and interviews with participants to bring colour, detail and a fresh perspective to the story of how the siege of Europe was broken in the longest military campaign of World War II.

Inside, you'll discover how tactics, organisation and new technologies were brought to bear, about the different challenges faced by both the Allies and the Axis, and, above all, the skill, bravery and endurance of the sailors and pilots engaged in a contest that was of critical importance to the outcome of the war.
