Ed Offley ~ Turning the Tide ~ Perseus Books Group ~ 2011 ~ Hardcover

Description: Turning the Tide : How a Small Band of Allied Sailors Defeated the U-Boats and Won the Battle of the Atlantic; In Turning the Tide, military reporter and author Ed Offley presents a rousing military history of the climax of the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II, when a handful of battle-hardened British, Canadian and American sailors successfully beat back the German U-Boats that were threatening the lifeline between the US and Britain. Tens of thousands of merchant seamen, naval gunners, civilian passengers and U-boat crewmen lost their lives in the Battle of the Atlantic, making it the deadliest naval conflict in history--but the losses were high because the stakes were even higher. If the U-boats had managed to sever the lifeline between the U.S. and Great Britain--as they seemed poised to do by late 1942--Germany could have denied the Allies their springboard into the European continent, effectively costing them the war. Using interviews with key survivors on both sides and extensive research in German, British, and American archives, Offley puts the reader into the heart of the pivotal episodes of this critical conflict, showing how the Allies nearly lost--and ultimately regained--victory in both the Atlantic and in Europe itself.
