Battle of The Atlantic - Brought Close Than Ever Before

Simply Put: This is THE text on The Battle of the Atlantic. Every facet of the battle, from both sides, is covered. From the basic outlines to the most minute details, it is all laid out in an easy to read format. On a personal note, I work at a former military installation, now a National Park, that helped fight the Battle of the Atlantic (it's even mentioned in the book - Ft. Hancock, NJ) and I've recommended this book several times to those looking to learn more about History's most pivotal naval battle. If you want a ringside seat for one of the most critical engagements in the history of warfare, read "To Die Gallantly" - you will NOT be disappointed. -Tom
