Gannon (history, U. of Florida, retired) examines the successes of German U- boat crews during the first eight months of 1942, noting that these submarines caused twice as many Allied casualties during this period as the attack on Pearl Harbor. Written for general readers and fans of military history, this book documents the exploits of five U-boats and their push toward the American coast, revealing that the U.S. Navy ignored British intelligence warnings and was unable to interfere with these attacks. Appendices include mechanical and operational details of the U-boats and maps outlining American patrols, the Operation Drumbeat campaign and the ships sunk by U-123 during patrols in U.S. waters. This is the first paperback printing of the original 1990 hardcover version. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
