NORMAN FRIEDMAN is arguably America's most prominent naval analyst, and the author of more than thirty books covering a range of naval subjects, from warship histories to contemporary defence issues. His most recent titles in a series of successful works for Seaforth are _British Battleships of the Victorian Era_ and the first part of his history of British Submarines, subtitled 'in two World Wars'.
British Submarines in the Cold War Era by Norman Friedman is a remarkable achievement.... This book is a must-read for all professionals, designers and scholars of modern submarines. Once again it should be recommended reading for all Australian submarine design courses. --Australian Naval Institute This offering, authored by Norman Friedman, provides the reader with an informative, and rounded look at the submarines of the Royal Navy post-WWII. The benefits learned from fighting the U-Boat force is well explained, and the advances in Royal Navy submarines, that help protect them from the methods used to seek out and destroy U-Boats. For anybody interested in submarines, as a machine of war this book is a must have, as the UK was one of the leading lights in the development and use of submarines as weapons of war, and their collaboration with the U.S. Navy has paid huge dividends for both countries. --Model Shipwrights
