The War at Sea is essential reading for anyone interested in World War 2. It's breadth and deep of coverage of the historical detail is without equal. Only Morisons 'US Naval Operations in WWII' compares but it is totally focused on the USN and does not start till 1941. This is not a combat narrative, its a detailed history explaining why, where and how of all the naval battles of WWII. This particular volume deals with the USA's entry into the war, the disasters that followed Pearl Harbor and the shipping massacre 'the second happy time' that took place off the US east coast.
The many tables and maps of the original, which it would be impossible to reproduce in ebook format have been removed.
