Description: Following the highly successful Jane's Battleships of the 20th Century, this extraordinary new book covers all the different types of warships that fought from the Atlantic and Arctic to the Pacific Ocean in World War II -- including aircraft carriers, submarines, assault ships, destroyers, and cruisers. Naval historian Bernard Ireland offers new insights into the conflict, investigating how German U-boats ultimately lost the battle of the Atlantic, while U.S. subs annihilated Japan's merchant navy. With Ireland's own career in naval engineering enabling him to reveal a host of fascinating hidden details -- and with its gallery of magnificent artwork by acclaimed naval artist Tony Gibbons -- Jane's Naval History of World War II makes a major new contribution to 20th-century history.
