NOT MANY BOOKS ARE WRITTEN ABOUT WORLD WAR TWO ANYMORE, BUT I JUST READ ONE CALLED "A MEASURELESS PERIL" WRITTEN BY RICHARD SNOW.  ITS ABOUT THE BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC, GERMANY'S SUBMARINE FLEET AND THE EFFECT IT HAD ON ALLIED SHIPPING.  THE AUTHOR USED LETTERS WRITTEN BY HIS FATHER WHO SERVED ON A DESTROYER ESCORT AS A BASIS FOR THIS TRUE STORY.  

ESPECIALLY INTERESTING IS THE PARTS ABOUT SUB ATTACKS ON SHIPS IN SIGHT OF OUR SHORE AND THE PART ABOUT HENRY J. KAISER AND HIS SHIP BUILDING.  THE BOOK SHOWS HOW IT WAS THE INDUSTRIAL POWER OF THE USA THAT REALLY WON THE WAR.  A POWER THAT WE HAVE NOW CEDED TO OTHER COUNTRIES, THANKS TO OUR WARPED TRADE AGREEMENTS.

IF YOU LIKE BOATS AND WWII, ITS A GREAT READ.
