Wolf at the Door: The World War II Antisubmarine Battle for Hampton Roads, Virginia

Wolf captures the story of the U.S. Fifth Naval District’s defeat of German U-boats in the struggle for Hampton Roads, Virginia during World War II. The authors include personal interviews with American and German veterans, including German U-boat captains who led the initial attacks in 1942-1943–interviews never before published. The authors contrast newspaper accounts of the period against historical fact and the personal experience of American and German veterans who were there.
