U-Boat Killer / Captain Donald Macintyre / WW II, North Atlantic, Royal Navy / Submarine Book Store

Championship play on the chessboard of

the North Atlantic—and the first wrong move

could claim your life and the lives of the men

you commanded. Through five unrelenting

years of war, author Donald Macintyre

overcame the skilled fury of the Nazi (U-boat)

wolf packs. Hitler's submarines ruled the high

seas and England was at the brink of defeat.

This is Captain Macintyre's explosive saga in

World War II—the Battle of the Atlantic.

Through his eyes we glimpse the stunning

savagery of the struggle for survival. The

destroyer's he commanded during the long

conflict accounted for seven kills and several

captures to his credit. Captain Macintyre

became England's top U-boat destroyer

during World War II. Here he offers his

firsthand account of safeguarding convoys in

the North Atlantic from roaming German subs.

The true adventures of the Royal Navy's ace U-boat killer. In the Atlantic he even captured the enemy's greatest U-boat Ace––Otto Kretchmer’s U-99.

BOOK REVIEWS

"This book has accounts of battles from Captain Donald Macintyre. It talks a lot about the battles in World War II and is very interesting especially because of the release of the movie U-571. It is perfect for any history and sea war-fare buff. The lingo is a bit tough to pick up on if you don't know your stuff, however, but it is still a good read." Taylor Lisney

"Captain Donald Macintyre, RN, here tells a saga of destroyers and the men who man them. With a modesty and conciseness which, if anything, add to the vividness of this story, Captain Macintyre takes his readers through moments of high adventure, periods of devastating boredom, and the utter misery that can only come to sailors in small ships in the wretched savagery of the battle for the Empire's lifeline. It is an intensely human story, devoid of melodramatic embellishment, but it also points up the stark need for effective sea power in an ear in which it is difficult to retain a sense of perspective in the face of the dramatic developments in the field of mass-destruction weapons." Admiral Robert B. Carney, USN (Ret.)
