### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in naval history or ...
            
*by B***R on April 14, 2018*

I'm always a bit skeptical when a book has the phrase "complete history of..." in its title (unless it's sarcasm), as another author will undoubtably come along and fill in a gap. The Deadly Trade, however, lives up to its title.This is the most comprehensive historical account of submarine warfare I've come across. Almost 1000 pages long, it spans from the initial development of the submarine in the 1600s through to the end of 2017.Even given its length, I found it hard to put this book down, and read it in only a few days.The thing the struck me the most about the account of submarine warfare in WWII was the incredible number of vessels sunk - literally hundreds of millions of tons of ships, subs, and supplies went to the bottom. It's a testament to the vast size and resilience of our oceans that there appears to be no long-term impact from all this debris.I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in naval history or submarine warfare/technology.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Submarine history
            
*by S***1 on January 19, 2019*

Best book I've read on sub history. Written by a Brit, so lots of British history. However, very good coverage of U.S. boats in ww2. Was in the sub service 1962-1969 so interesting coverage of the cold war that I didn't know at the time. Would recommend to any Subvet or interested others.
