<p>By 1942 most of Europe was under the heel of the Nazis. Only the United Kingdom remained free to oppose them. Knowing Britain needed supplies from overseas, the German navy built a large fleet of U-boats to hunt merchant ships. It was up to Canada to protect all shipping from North America to Britain. Corvettes like HMCS <i>Sackville</i> were crewed by young men from across Canada, and from all walks of life. The Battle of the Atlantic (1939–1945), the longest of the Second World War, was Canada’s battle, and the outcome sealed Hitler’s fate. </p>

Features meticulously detailed black and white drawings, an illustrated diagram of the <i>Sackville</i>, information on wartime propaganda, glossary, and an illustrated map.</p>
