About This Item
Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 1975. 1st edition. Nice Copy. octavo. dust jacket xii + 520pp., b/w plates, text ills., ep maps, notes, bibliog., index, ÔThe U.S. Navy was at war in the Atlantic long before 7 December 1941, but little is known about that conflict. Mr. Roosevelt's Navy is a vivid, thoroughly researched account of this undeclared war upon which Franklin Roosevelt embarked in order to sway the desperate Battle of the Atlantic in favour of Britain's hard-pressed Royal Navy. Not only is this book a history of the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet and its impact on German-American strategy and diplomacy prior to and immediately following American entry into WW2, but it is also a lively account of the muted battles and endless patrols that were the pattern of life for Americansailors in the cold, grey Atlantic.Õ
