Size: 5" x 7"
Essentials Issue 30 The Second World War - The War at Sea written by Philip D Grove, Mark J Grove & Alastair Finlan. ISBN 1841763977. Essential Histories is a multi-volume history of war seen from political, strategic, tactical, cultural and individual perspectives. Quoted: "Read them and gain a deeper understanding of war and a stronger basis for thinking about peace".
This volume provides a comprehensive guide to three major theatres of combat: the battles of the Atlantic, the war in the Mediterranean and the fighting in the Indian Ocean. The war at sea was a vital contest, which if lost would have irreversibly altered the balance of the military forces on land. The sea lanes were the logical arteries of British and subsequent Allied armies fighting on the three continents of Africa, Asia and Europe. The Second World War was ultimately won by land forces but it could always have been lost at sea. | $ 17.95

Model: 51895
Size: 8.5"x11"
U-Boat Tactics in World War II, Written by Gordon Williamson, Illustrated by Ian Palmer. ISBN 9781849081733. ABOUT THE PUBLICATION: At the start of the war, German U-boat technology vastly out performed that possessed by the Allies, and under the pressure of the war continual development helped keep pace with wartime needs and improvements in anti-submarine weaponry. But it was not just the technology that had to change. German U-boat tactics evolved over time. Used in a variety of roles, from coastal patrolling through to the combined actions of convey-hunting 'wolf packs', the tactics used by U-Boats were diverse. This book analyzes how the U-boats dominated the seas thanks to their innovative and daring tactical deployment, and how the cracking of the Enigma code effectively hamstrung them, greatly reducing their impact, a problem that even their advanced tactics failed to solve. | $ 18.95
