An interesting, if brief, history of British submarines in World War II originally written before the end of the war. It feels a little biased with the passage of time, nevertheless a useful addition to any library of books chronicling the British Navy.

Some minor scuffing and discolouration to the cover and page edges. All internal content is clean and unmarked.
