A leading naval and military historian presents the first book to cover the major submarine campaigns in all the WWII theaters. Vividly recreates the experience of submarine and anti-submarine warfare from the decision makers in the war offices to the men in the boats. Describes the disappointing performance of the giant Japanese submarines in the Pacific and the narrow margin by which Britain escaped defeat by German U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic. Reveals new information about the capture of the Enigma cipher machine; harrowing accounts of defenseless warriors shot in the water and much more. Contains 16 pages of photographs; many published for the first time.

The only issue I have is I don't think Kruse gives room for the politicians and business people to have been acting out of genuine faith; rather than an agenda. Right; wrong; or indifferent it's plausible they made the decisions they did based upon a deep faith. If that's the case; then the shaping of American Culture could be based upon the true faith of it's leaders; and not just a political and economic agenda.Overall the book is well researched; well written; and presented with a very interesting look into the history of this countries politics. If you're interested in American history; politics; or faith then you should read this book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
