Published in two volumes, the work discusses anti-submarine warfare operations in World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and today. In addition to tactical and strategic narratives of major ASW campaigns, the work covers the evolution of ASW sensors, weapons, platforms, and tactics. This first volume looks at the often ignored reaction to the earliest submersible attack on British warships in 1776 to the first, primitive ASW actions of World War I. World War I saw the Germans use U-boats to devastate British shipping, nearly driving the country out of the war. Here the authors look at the development of the innovative, but rudimentary sensors and weapons that the Allies used to counter the U-boat threats in the Atlantic and Mediterranean theaters. Still, the U-boats were never completely defeated in the Great War, and the ensuing chapters about the two decades between the world wars narrate the development of sonar, radar, and ASW ships, as well as changing political attitudes toward undersea warfare. The remainder of the first volume covers the first half of World War II's Battle of the Atlantic, from September 1939 to the U-boat crisis in the spring of 1943. This section discusses the influence of intelligence, gained mainly through cryptography, on the Battle of the Atlantic. Polmar and Whitman have created a thorough, well-researched reference for anyone interested in the development of ASW. Review: The technology of finding submarines - A comprehensive and thorough overview of the evolution of Anti-Submarine Warfare during and after WWII. Detailed explanations of the detections systems, in particular the evolution and role of acoustic detection systems during the Cold War. Several other topics focused on alternative submarine detection methods (wake detection, the Soviet SOKS system, and radar detection, among others). With the continued advances in quieting of submarines, the future of submarine detection is also discussed. Review: Solid data - A thorough review of the subject area - very informative on obscure aspects of submarine warfare, and provides a good overview of the topic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,864,223 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,347 in Conventional Weapons & Warfare History (Books) #4,186 in Naval Military History | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 19 Reviews | ## Images ![Hunters and Killers: Volume 2: Anti-Submarine Warfare from 1943 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wrDs+dh9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The technology of finding submarines *by T***Y on May 8, 2019* A comprehensive and thorough overview of the evolution of Anti-Submarine Warfare during and after WWII.

It reads like a novel but is full of more than interesting and relevant facts to understand ASW. If there's anything wrong with it, I haven't found it yet (and I read it 3 times). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/45819391-hunters-and-killers-volume-2-anti-submarine-warfare-from-1943](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/45819391-hunters-and-killers-volume-2-anti-submarine-warfare-from-1943) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
