Despite these heavy losses, however, submarines accounted for more than fifty-five percent of Japanese shipping losses. This book, first published in 1994 in hardcover, chronicles the careers of all fifty-two U.S. submarines lost during the war--their successes, failures, and fates. With some thirty photographs and a wealth of first-hand material, it offers a compelling look at a legendary fleet.". Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket .
