The Battle of the Atlantic 1939 - 1943 - A Short Account

This is a very useful short overview and introduction to this historic struggle. The reader is given a clear understanding of the essential elements.

Former First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir "Jock" Slater GCB, LVO, DL said of the book:

“The Battle of Britain is celebrated every year but not the much longer Battle of the Atlantic, which arguably was even more important to the ultimate survival of Britain in the dark years of the Second World War. Had the Battle to keep open the sea lines of reinforcement and supply failed, then the war would undoubtedly have been lost. Much has already been written about this harsh and complex campaign but Captain Michael O'Kelly, himself a former anti-submarine warfare specialist, has painstakingly compiled a short, most readable and informative account of the Battle, admirably drawing all the strands together and producing a masterly summary of the operation".
