ISBN:  9781792966729 (hc.) Description:  377 p. : ill., maps ; 23 cm. Notes:  "Winning the longest military campaign of Wold War II" --Cover. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. 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.
