Its continuous significance and scientific challenge makes this book required reading for the historian, naval professional and intelligent beginner a very impressive achievement. Naval History Book Reviews The authors present a comprehensive history of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) from its beginnings to spring 1943, the when the tide was turned against the German U-Boat fleet in World War II's Battle of the Atlantic. The book covers the little-known British ASW measures following the attacks by Bushnell's Turtle against British warships in New York. ASW matured greatly in World War I, when German U-boats nearly strangled Britain, and again in World War II, when the U-boats ravaged Allied shipping. The ASW efforts spurred innovation in technologies including aircraft, sonar, radar, barrage and homing weapons, as well as in tactics involving convoying, hunter-killer task forces, cryptology and direction finding. Volume 2 will cover the rest of World war II and the Cold War. --Seapower Author InformationNorman Polmar is an analyst, consultant, and author specializing in naval, aviation, and science and technology issues.
