In Wolf Pack, the acclaimed author of The Rescue traces the development of the pack from its origins at the end of the First World War, through its devastating use by the Nazis against British convoys, to the key role it played in Americas victory in the Pacific. Drawing from personal letters and journals, ships logs, official reports, interviews, and thousands of top secret documents only recently declassified, Steven Trent Smith creates a brilliantly detailed history of the people, ideas, tactics, and technologies that made the wolf pack such an effective weapon.
Bristling with undersea action, compelling human drama, and nerve-jangling suspense, this powerful account of the war beneath the Pacific includes unforgettable portraits of the commanders, officers, and crewmen who carried out these extremely hazardous and complex operations. Youll meet Blairs Blasters, Parks' Pirates, Whitakers Wolves, and many others as they stalk the "Convoy College" in search of prey, sink hundreds of enemy vessels, and test new tactics and technologies in the constant drive to perfect their deadly skills.
You'll also meet the visionary German and American officers who transformed submarine warfare. Vizeadmiral Karl Donitz developed the first successful German wolf packs; Captains Charles "Swede" Momsen and John "Babe" Brown created a masterly doctrine of coordinated submarine attack; and Vice Admiral Charles "Uncle Charlie" Lockwood struggled to implement the strategy in the Pacific.
This authoritative account of one of the most important, least-explored aspects of the Pacific war also features scores of memorable anecdotes. Entertaining, engrossing, and meticulously detailed, Wolf Pack is must reading for anyone fascinated by submarine warfare; World War II; or the conduct of men whose courage, ingenuity, and tenacity are put to the ultimate test.
