Summary:
"No battle lasted longer than the 2075 days of the Battle of the
Atlantic
. Few battles are so apparently perplexing in their outcome. There was nothing in the dark days of September 1939 to February 1943 to suggest that the Allies could defeat the U-boat menace; yet two months later the U-boats were tamed. ‘Atlantic Nightmare’ reveals the seven strategic errors in Hitler’s approach to the U-boat
war
that helped deliver victory to the Allies, starting with his decision to go
war
with only 21 ocean-going U-boats. At each stage ‘Atlantic Nightmare’ demonstrates how Hitler, Raeder and Dönitz made mistake after mistake as they failed to develop a coherent strategy. This, and their failure to make the battle a priority, gave the Allies time to build up their anti-submarine forces. ‘Atlantic Nightmare’ shows how Churchill and his admirals took advantage of these errors to create escort ships and support units that overwhelmed the U-boats. Central to this success were research, technical advances and the talents of the many gifted people who took on the Nazi challenge. Throughout '
Atlantic
nightmare
' the words of the key participants – politicians, officers, seamen and researchers – are used to show how they responded to the many challenges of this unique battle. ‘Atlantic nightmare’s’ mix of battle actions, human interest, and analysis provides a wide-ranging story of this momentous battle."--Back cover.
