"In 1941, the Nazi U-boat ruled the Atlantic.
By 1943, the remaining U-boats feared to surface even at night.
Based on recently declassified material and scores of interviews with combat participants, Hunter-Killer takes the reader onto the carrier flight deck and into the fighter cockpit during the longest continuing engagement of World War Il - the Battle of the Atlantic. From the breaking of the German code to the sinking of the 'jeep' carrier Block Island, from in-close antisubmarine encounters to the secret capture of U-boat U-505, Hunter-Killer is a stirring account of how U.S. 'jeep' carriers mercilessly hammered the German wolf packs into submission."

"The substantial accomplishments of the U.S. Navy's mini-carriers in such battles as Leyte Gulf, Guadalcanal, the Marianas, and Okinawa never gained the attention given the fast carriers, but there is little question that their vital operations played an important role in the Pacific campaign. These remarkably versatile vessels - called CVEs, baby flattops, and even jeeps - hunted submarines, escorted convoys, provided air support, and performed dozens of other tasks that are vividly described in this book. Based on interviews with the CVE crewmen and on war diaries, ship histories, and other documents, it tells a moving story of escort carrier operations, from the work of the first CVEs to their final assignment transporting GIs home after the war. Seldom-seen photographs add to this fascinating portrait of the little giants."
