The German U-boat
campaign in the Mediterranean was one of the hardest-fought of the
war at sea. In confined waters, facing often overwhelming Allied
naval and air superiority, a small number of submarines caused
considerable losses to the Royal Navy and its allies. The author
places the U-boat campaign in the Mediterranean into its strategic
context, showing how it was affected by the fortunes of Rommel's
Afrika Korps and the U-boat battle in the Atlantic. The U-boats'
successes are described in detail, including the sinking of HMS
Ark Royal and the torpedoing of the battleship HMS Barham.
