The German Fleet at War relates the little-known history of the Kriegsmarine's surface fleet with a focus on the sixty-nine surface naval battles fought by Germany's major warships against the large warships of the British; French; American; Polish; Soviet; Norwegian and Greek navies. It emphasizes operational details but also paints a broad overview of the naval war. The book addresses the lack of information about the specifics of naval engagements in World War II and provides a database of naval engagements for comparison and analysis; but unlike most reference works; it has a continuous narrative and a theme. The result is a unique overview of the German and Allied navies at war that provides new appreciation of their activities and accomplishments.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. OUSTANDINGBy Gary KThis book; in my opinion; is perhaps the new benchmark; and indisputable gold standard on the subject of Meriwether Lewis. The authors painstakingly document their research on the subject of this most intriguing explorer and historical icon and they provide much information on the difficulties and hardships of life during this epoch of history. They also propose insight to the relationships that Lewis had with those in his realm of influence and how those relationships impacted his life.While a very thoughtful read; one must pay attention to the details and in so doing; will come away with an enlightened perspective on this man's life and death.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. No goodBy JB WilsonThis was possibly the most boring book I have read and I am fascinated by the life of the subject. The excruciating minutia of the details that no one would care about and that are not relevant to the story were astounding.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent reading.
