This book describes the Type VII as a weapon system with all its components in a concise and accurate way. The author somehow manages to present a lot of useful information not only in readable form but on surprisingly little space. The contents is clearly broken down into chapters like "Weapons", "Sensors", or "Crew", with useful appendices on things like the exterior of boats and even a few pages on Dönitz, the mastermind behind German submarine warfare.
Illustrated with a marvelous selection of photographs, some 160 in total, and several dozen line drawings. With it's appendixes on paint schemes, boats built and a profile of Donitz, this is a valuable contribution to the study of the U-boat arm, which will be warmly welcomed by naval enthusiasts.
This copy is in Very Good condition. There is some very minor shelf wear. As usual, the book pictured is the one you will receive.
