This volume highlights the scale and complexity of this bitterly contested campaign, one that encompassed far more than just attacks by German U-boats on Allied shipping. The team of leading scholars assembled in this study situates the German assault on seaborne trade within the wider Allied war effort and provides a new understanding of its place within the Second World War. Individual chapters offer original perspectives on a range of neglected or previously overlooked subjects: how Allied grand strategy shaped the war at sea; the choices facing Churchill and other Allied leaders and the tensions over the allocation of scarce resources between theaters; how the battle spread beyond the Atlantic Ocean in both military and economic terms; the management of Britain's merchant shipping repair yards; the defense of British coastal waters against German surface raiders; the contribution of air power to trade defense; antisubmarine escort training; the role of special intelligence; and the war against the U-boats in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans."--Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Atlantic Ocean. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Naval operations, British. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Naval operations, American. 650 7 $a Military campaigns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 $a Military operations, Naval $x American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710245 651 7 $a Atlantic Ocean. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240722 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 700 1 $a Faulkner, Marcus, $e editor. 700 1 $a Bell, Christopher M., $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190702014429.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FFBE6F709C8E11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
