WWII in The Gulf of Mexico PB

This book presents an extremely detailed review of those aspects of WWII that took place just off our shores along the east coast but principally in the Gulf of Mexico. The author paints a comprehensive picture of the tactics, the ships of both nations, the aircraft including lighter than air and especially by the intrepid sailors and merchant sea men. Especially important for today's readers are the lessons to be learned from the many mistakes made on both sides and the steep learning curve that cost so much loss of property and so many lives.

Those who envision the war at sea taking place only in the far reaches of the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans would gain a far deeper understanding from reading this informative book.
