4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of material for the serious researcher., 11 Jul 2008
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Allied Submarine Attacks of World War Two: European Theatre of Operations, 1939-45 (Hardcover)
This is not a book one would sit down and read in the expectation of being entertained by the content. It is a book full of facts and figures where very few people are ever likely to admit to having read it all. Furthermore, there are no photographs and no illustrations.

What it does contain, however, are the carefully researched and meticulously catalogued details of, as the title suggests, all Allied Submarine Attacks of World War Two in the European theatre of operations.

It is both an exhaustive and authoritative work from naval historian Jürgen Rohwer whose reputation is unsurpassed in his field of expertise. Arranged by sea area, we commence with Soviet operations in the Arctic, Baltic and Black Sea before coming on to British and Allied attacks stretching from north Norway to the Mediterranean. There is also an addendum which deals with Soviet operations against Japan in the final stages of the war.

Most interesting of all is the author's comparison between what was claimed by the attacker - i.e. the official report as submitted by the submarine commander, with the information contained in the War Diaries of those on the receiving end of those attacks. In this way, the author has been able to correct many instances of false or inaccurate reporting.

As I say, not a "readable" work by any means, nevertheless, this is an important work as far as ongoing research is concerned and should be a required addition to the bookshelf of any discerning researcher.
