This volume highlights the scale and complexity of this bitterly contested campaign, one that encompassed far more than just attacks by German U-boats on Allied shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe team of leading scholars assembled in this study situates the German assault on seaborne trade within the wider Allied war effort and provides a new understanding of its place within the Second World War. Individual chapters offer original perspectives on a range of neglected or previously overlooked subjects: how Allied grand strategy shaped the war at sea; the choices facing Churchill and other Allied leaders and the tensions over the allocation of scarce resources between theaters; how the battle spread beyond the Atlantic Ocean in both military and economic terms; the management of Britain's merchant shipping repair yards; the defense of British coastal waters against German surface raiders; the contribution of air power to trade defense; antisubmarine escort training; the role of special intelligence; and the war against the U-boats in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Faulkner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949668002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949668001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Andarta Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Marcus Faulkner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149451260159,"sku":"9781949668001","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b56f804-227b-41c8-a56c-1c47c7c74d56.jpg?v=1688456788","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decision-in-the-atlantic-marcus-faulkner-9781949668001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
