In the Author’s Note Craig Symonds says, “The Second World War was the single greatest cataclysm of violence in human history.” To fight that war the United States constructed the largest, most technologically advanced navy ever seen to that point in history. This book in part tells that story but the book is not just about America’s war at sea. The US also constructed the largest fleet of merchant shipping ever seen to support her allies and her own military in that terrible conflict. This book tells that story but it also addresses the Herculean ordeal of transporting critically needed supplies across thousands of miles of ocean to keep Britain, the Soviets, the Australians and New Zealanders, and China in the war. This book is also about the larger conflict. It attempts to examine all the important naval encounters of all the important belligerents and it succeeds.Professor Symonds organizes the narrative chronologically, dovetailing the events that took place at the same time but separated by great distances. Most authors cover the war geographically, telling the story of war in the Atlantic separately from the war in the Pacific. That is done for organizational convenience and because most authors focus on the United States. Craig Symonds covers all the navies of the major belligerents with a descriptive command that clearly illustrates the historical flow to the reader. Several episodes of the war not usually covered appear here. The Norwegian Campaign and the naval confrontations in the Mediterranean are typically not well covered but the author corrects that in this book. I found the story of the attempts to relieve the garrison on Malta gripping; I had never heard of Operation Pedestal before. Another important event covered by the author that is usually missed by others: the monumental importance of Congressman Carl Vinson and the Two Ocean Navy Act he pushed through the House.The author not only emphasizes the importance of merchant shipping to the war effort but focuses the reader on the significance of the amphibious ships and craft necessary to deliver the Allies to the beaches. In this discussion Symonds gets a chance to examine the competition for resources that resulted from attempting to quickly build not only the huge numbers of so many different types of vessels but also build airplanes, tanks, jeeps, trucks and artillery as well. This competition meant that one type of ship, the Landing Ship Tank, would be the limiting factor. The LST could not be replaced by any other vessel and Eisenhower very nearly did not have enough for the invasion of Northern Europe. The Allies had planned an invasion of Southern France, Operation Anvil, to be simultaneously launched with Overlord. The LST requirements for Anvil would limit the sealift for Overlord. Professor Symonds explains Eisenhower’s dilemma, “…while there would be enough LSTs for the first three tides, after that ‘we will have no repeat no LSTs reaching the beaches after the morning of D plus 1 until the morning of D plus 4.” (p 508) That is a long time to go without reinforcement or resupply. That is how critical the LST was. It did not help matters that the invasion of Saipan in the Pacific was planned to take place at nearly the same time as Overlord. The war in the Pacific accounted for the dearth of LSTs in Europe and the Mediterranean. The US did produce an overwhelming amount of war material. With plentiful natural resources, massive industrial and agricultural capacity the US still did experience critical shortages at critical times in the war. Anvil was postponed until August of 1944 and renamed Dragoon. The war in the Pacific continued unabated.Craig L Symonds is an outstanding author. He can translate the history of a single battle or a grand sweeping survey of a six year global war into gripping and enthralling literature. Professor Symonds currently is the Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History at the US Naval War College after a long distinguished career as a professor of naval history at the US Naval Academy. He has won many awards to include the Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Naval Literature for his book Neptune: The Allied Invasion of Europe and the D-Day Landings. So, besides being a gifted author Professor Symonds is also a highly respected naval historian. I first discovered him through his book on the Battle of Midway and when Neptune came out I had to get it. Both are just fabulous examples of how to tell an engaging story, explain technological details while maintaining the reader’s interest and pass on the history of that time and place, and of the people involved, in a way that flows like a novel. Since Neptune was published I have been keeping an eye out for his next work. When I saw the topic of his new effort I was stunned. Yes, that is what I want. I want a single volume history of World War II at sea and I want it written by Craig Symonds! I am completely satisfied with the result.

Craig Symonds has written a tremendous one-volume account of the global war at sea in World War II.Beginning with the daring attack on Scapa Flow by a German U-Boat and concluding with the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay, this fine book covers every major naval encounter of the war. Included are the battles of the river Plate, the U-Boat menace in the Atlantic, Pearl Harbor, Midway, North Africa, Guadalcanal, the battles in the Mediterranean, the sinking of the Bismarck, the campaigns in the central Pacific, and Okinawa, among others. The book also contains dozens of photographs and maps.The personalities of the war at sea are also covered. Such leaders as Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance, King, Yamamoto, Nagumo, Raeder, and Donitz and the tactics they used are brought to life. Not to be forgotten are the brave men who manned the ships and fought so hard. These men risked their lives in battle so that themselves and their comrades might be able to go home again.Very seldom does a single volume do such an accurate job of describing the war at sea. Symond's book does just that. Each major battle is discussed, and he does a fine job of including all of the action that took place as well. I highly recommend this fine book. It is a good read for the naval expert or the casual reader.

I was born a year after the Hiroshima bomb was dropped. I remember the parades of the early 1950s, but never really understood the scope of world war II. What I liked about "World War II at Sea" was the seamless integration and description of a series of complex events that occurred across an entire world. Although I have read a number of books about individual battles, the masterful integration of time, geography and the scope of the battles in this book provides a truly remarkable summary of the sweep of naval engagements during the war. I learned so much. I did not know there was a short period when there were no operational American carriers in the Pacific Ocean. I never understood the impact of the split command (MacArthur and Nimitz) on the conduct of the war in the South Pacific. On top of this it was almost a "page turner". Once I engaged, I did not want to put it down. Kudos to Mr. Symonds for a well-crafted book.

This book represents a phenomenal undertaking and accomplishes it with remarkable success. Beyond the author’s brilliant prose, his historical expertise is on full display as he takes the reader from the post-WWI naval treaties through the Japanese surrender on the deck of the USS Missouri in 1945. Anyone interested in military history, World War II, strategy and the importance of sea power will find World War II at Sea an enjoyable and highly informative read. Highest recommendation.
