First published in the U.S., it illustrates the difficulties of the Battle of the Atlantic: the struggle against the sea, the enemy, and the exhaustion brought on by constant vigilance.

S. Forester is the best living writer about the sea." -Time "Action, tension, tingling suspense...The greatest adventure story to come out of World War II." -Life Magazine About the Author C. S.
