Battle for the Atlantic #[nn]
Part of Crabtree Publishing's *Graphic Modern History: World War II* series, this 2012 volume written by Gary Jeffrey and illustrated by Terry Riley plunges readers into the deadly undersea warfare of the North Atlantic. The cover captures the tension perfectly — a German U-boat gliding beneath the surface while a depth charge detonates in a brilliant flash nearby, a mine drifting ominously in the foreground. Inside, the story focuses on the fates of U-100 and U-099 during the infamous Atlantic Wolf Pack operations of March 16, 1941, bringing the dangerous world of submarine commanders Joachim Schepke and Otto Kretschmer to vivid graphic life.
