xii, 520 pp. 8vo. Maps on endpapers, black-and-white photographs in text. "The U.S. Navy was at war in the Atlantic long before 7 December 1941, but little is known about that conflict. Mr. Roosevelt's Navy is a vivid, thoroughly researched account of this undeclared war upon which Mr. Roosevelt embarked in order to sway the desperate Battle of the Atlantic in favor of Britain's hard pressed Royal Navy."
