Victory in the St. Lawrence: The Unknown U-Boat War

Description

In North The united states, we recall to mind the Second World War as being fought far away (excluding for the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor). Few know that German U-boats prowled in large part unchallenged up and down the St. Lawrence River, sinking unwary Canadian military and Allied merchant vessels in an try to stop the float of goods, troops and armaments to war-ravaged Britain. Fewer still know that prior to the war, Hitler tried to purchase Anticosti Island, positioned on the mouth of the St. Lawrence, from a rich French chocolate-bar manufacturer.

Victory in the St. Lawrence tells the riveting true story of how shortsighted government priorities and advanced German submarine technology allowed the Nazis to stalk shipping in Allied home waters. Even though much of the Second World War is well documented, missing chapters still surface even now, a half century later — stories of chilling events that might have changed the course of history. Victory in the St. Lawrence reveals how courageous, independent-minded heroes defended North The united states deep within its defenses.
