Hunters and Killers is a comprehensive twovolume history of all aspects of AntiSubmarine Warfare (ASW), covering its beginnings in the late 18th Century through the important role of present antisubmarine systems and operations. The first volume discusses ASW operations up to World War II, ending in early 1943, and this second volume continues from 1943 to the present. In addition to tactical and strategic narratives of major ASW campaigns, this work covers the evolution of ASW sensors, weapons, platforms, and tactics.The second volume of Hunters and Killers begins at the turning point of the Battle of the Atlantic, when Allied efforts forced the Uboats to withdraw from the North Atlantic. With cryptologic breakthroughs, growing numbers of escort and longrange patrol aircraft, and new weapons, the Allied antisubmarine advantage mounted quickly. In the Pacific theater, Polmar and Whitman consider the oftenoverlooked ASW advances that the Japanese made during World War II.Turning to the Cold War, the authors examine the ASW developments this confrontation inspired in both the West and the Soviet Union. Both the West and the Soviet Union developed submarines armed with nuclear weapons, and each created techniques to counter the intensified submarine threats. Polmar and Whitman discuss the extensive antisubmarine aspects of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Falklands Conflict, and consider ASW developments into the early 21st Century.The second volume of Hunters and Killers completes the most indepth history of ASW ever published. Written by two of the most knowledgeable scholars on the subject, it is a must own for anyone interested in naval history.

While I appreciate the in-depth research in this volume, the writing can be a bit dense. Some sections felt like a chore to get through. If you're into the nitty-gritty of military tactics, you'll enjoy it, but it could use clearer explanations.

Solid Book but Lacked Photos
I found the content engaging, especially the analysis of submarine warfare. However, I wish there were more photos or maps to help visualize the battles described. Still, it’s a good read for any military enthusiast!
