Full Description:

Known for centuries as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" and dubbed "Torpedo Junction" by the brave men who fought there in World War II, the treacherous seas off the coast of North Carolina hid the deadly German submarines that waged a six-month-long attack on Allied merchant ships. The details of that war are told in a fast-paced narrative that puts the reader in the midst of the action. Just a handful of U-boats sank more Allied tonnage by mid 1942 than the entire Japanese navy would claim in the Pacific.
