Beschreibung:
James F. DeRose, a Sloan Fellow, Stanford Business School graduate, and thirty-two-year IBM veteran, is the author of the Wireless Data Handbook, Fourth Edition(Wiley). Roger W. Paine Jr., Rear Admiral, USN (Ret.), served on the first five war patrols of Wahoo, rising to Executive Officer.
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.
