"For, with ample detail on the evolution of a reborn German submarine industry in the 1930s and a scattering of new insights in niche areas, it is a worthy purchase at the retail price of £25."

If you want to find out anything about every aspect of post war RN submarine design, engineering, weapons, the art of passive sonar detection, and even Cold War scenarios for midget submarine operations, this is the book. The hallmark of any Norman Friedman book is the exhaustive research involved and the high quality of accompanying photos and diagrams. This book is a brilliant example of his craft, in a word, masterly.
