An excellent starting point.

This book contains 176 pages and 70 thousand words and it says much about the author's attention to detail that I was unable to find any errors. "Wolfpack - The U-Boat War and the Allied Counter-Attack 1939-1945" is a large format, hard-backed book measuring 12½" x 9¼" and containing 176 pages of text and illustrations of one form or another. The book has been carefully laid out so as to portray those events of WW2 featuring the U-Boat in chronological order. With at least one image on every page, we commence with an introductory chapter on the story of U-Boats in WW1. From here, the author brings us forward - chapter by chapter and event by event to the final reckoning at the end of WW2. As each new development in this aspect of warfare unfolds within the narrative, we are treated to a boxed "snapshot" of either a type of submarine, aircraft, ship or weapons system relevant to the text. Each of these comprises an example of the excellent artwork of Tony Gibbons/Aerospace Publishing to which is added the salient technical information. In addition, the impressive collection of historic photographs cover every conceivable aspect of the subject in question. For those with an interest in U-Boat Warfare of WW2, I would suggest this book is an excellent starting point. NM
