DESCRIPTION:
"An accomplished study." according to Ned Middleton. Having enjoyed other works from this author, I snapped up a copy of this book just as soon as I saw his name attached to such a title. I was given reason to expect great things just as soon as I started reading the information on the inside edge of the book's dust cover and was not disappointed with the content. Ordinarily, this provides the reader with a précis of what is found inside but, on this occasion, I found myself learning some very important details that were hitherto unknown to me - and I have had an interest in the U Boat for over An accomplished study.

This was the only book on U boats that discuss communications equipment. All the other books tell you how the admiral keepclose rains on the boats by radio, but never mention the type of equipment. This book does. I think it is the best ofall books for information about the boats….top shelf….. Daryl Carpenter said An excellent, well-rounded introduction to the Type VII. If you're looking for a single-volume study of this famous submarine design "Type VII U-boats" is an excellent place to start. It's certainly better than the awful Haynes "manual" on the boat, or the mediocre "Anatomy of the Ship" entry. Though primarily a technical history of the type, it also describes in some detail a number of the procedural and "domestic" issues of everyday U-boat operations. Special attention is given to the new weapons, sensors, and experimental defenses developed by the Germans after "Black May."The illustrations consist of about 160 black and white photo
This study of the Type VII as a weapon of war and a carrier of firepower offers a technical history as well as fascinating narrative accounts by the men who operated the boats.
