Synopsis
Unrestricted Warfare reveals the dramatic story of the harsh baptism by fire faced by U.S. submarine commanders in World War II. The first skippers went to battle hamstrung by conservative peacetime training and plagued by defective torpedoes. Drawing extensively from now declassified files, Japanese archives, and the testimony of surviving veterans, James DeRose has written a fascinating account of the men and vessels responsible for the only successful submarine campaign of the war. They clearly charted a new course to victory in the Pacific. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR UNRESTRICTED WARFARE "James DeRose has done an excellent job-- surprisingly so, in view of his lack of true WWII submarine experience. He obviously contacted everyone he could find who served on one of the three boats he concentrated on, and he read, as well, everything he could find that was written about them. . . . DeRose shines by his interpretation of events as the Japanese must have seen them. . . . His reconstruction of how Wahoo came to her end may well be pretty close to correct. . . . He does the same with Tang."-CAPTAIN EDWARD L. BEACH, USN author of Submarine! and Run Silent, Run Deep "An outstanding addition to the literature of the Silent Service. . . . The depth of research is wonderful. . . .

I am also completely familiar with submarine operations in the Pacific. With that background I couldn't fail to thoroughly enjoy DeRose's book. It is well written and has the right feel."-CHESTER W. NIMITZ JR., rear admiral, USN (Ret.) "Sail with American submariners into tightly guarded Japanese home waters; undergo the horror of a depth charge attack; experience the thrill of victory with some of the U.S. Navy's ace submarine skippers.

    Item was exactly as ordered and what I wanted. Thank goodness it was packaged in the sealed bubble pouch, then in the cardboard box. Half the box was so saturated from rain/water, that the box was wet on the inside. The item was completely dry inside the bubble pouch. Shipping was pretty quick. I feel I got a great value for something I have been looking for.

    Very imformative view of U.S. Submarine Warfare in WWII

    Much has been written about the problems U.S. Submarines encountered in the beginning of WWII. This book gives a new outlook as to some of the causes of problems that actually were set by events and practices formulated several years before the start of the war. I served in the 1960's on Diesel Submarines that were built during WWII. Many of the older crew members were veterans of WWII Submarine service and this book really made sense with what I learned and experienced from these individuals. stamp890
