Britain's Anti-Submarine Capability, 1919-1939is the first unified study of the development of Britain's anti-submarine capability between the armistice in 1919 and the onset of the second world German submarine attack on Britain's maritime trade in 1939. Well researched and yet accessibly written, this book challenges the widespread belief that the Royal Navy failed to anticipate the threat of the U-boat in the Second World War.
George D. Franklin is an engineering graduate of the University of Birmingham who also holds an MPhil in Modern History from the University of Glasgow. He has published a number of articles and book reviews on the history of the Royal Navy from 1919 to 1945. Since joining the Royal Navy as a seaman officer in 1993, he has served in a wide variety of ships, including three anti-submarine frigates.
