Business in great waters : the U-boat wars, 1916-1945 / John Terraine. London : Wordsworth Editions, 1999. xx, 841 p : ill ; 22 cm. text txt rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia volume nc rdacarrier Wordsworth military library Originally published: London : L. Cooper, 1989. Includes bibliographical references (pages 774-781) and index. Twice within 25 years Britain was threatened with starvation by the menace of the U-Boat. In this study of submarine warfare, the author explains why Winston Churchill wrote "the only thing that ever frightened me during the war was the U-Boat peril". Until it had been overcome, the Anglo-American entry into Europe in 1944 would have been impossible. John Terraine concentrates on the combatants themselves, both German and Allied, but does not overlook the three main factors in the equation - the political, the military and the technological, as well as the intelligence, the weapons and the devices both sides employed in order to outwit each other. He also focuses on the fighting men on either side, seeing the action from "where it was at". fast (OCoLC)fst01180746 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39Qhp4vB9cvdKydGHm4yKx7Gb fast (OCoLC)fst01180924 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39Qhp4vBbhpRH9XvjbDFXtxhb 1900-1999 fast World War, 1914-1918 Naval operations Submarine.
