Corvettes Canada: Convoy Veterans of WWII Tell Their True Stories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a story that almost no one seems to know about. I cant imagine being inside a 200 ft. tin can, in the worst possible weather for 3 or 4 years, fighting faster, better equipped U-boats (the corvettes were modified whalers with a 4 inch gun), with only a few breaks in between the battles. The corvettes weren't designed for prolonged ocean travel(mostly for coastal patrols) and yet they did the bulk of the allied ocean convoy work. I haven't finished the book yet, but I am thoroughly enjoying it so far.

THE TWO-OCEAN WAR : A SHORT HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read this book in preparation for a sea power class I was going to take in graduate school. The author has a well planned format for his work which keeps continuity by alternating Atlantic and Pacific theaters in accordance with the timeline of events. Morison covers the major battles in depth and mentions the minor skirmishes which are relevant to the big picture. By reading Two Ocean War, readers are able to better understand the course of events for naval forces during the war which are often overlook in favor of the `more popular' land battles.
