Published in 1971, this three-book series covers different aspects of submarine warfare during the Second World War. Convoy Escort Commander looks at the battle to protect merchant shipping from U-boat attacks. The Fighting Tenth focuses on the Royal Navy’s 10th Submarine Flotilla, which operated in the Mediterranean. Crisis Convoy examines another chapter of the deadly cat-and-mouse game between submarines and surface escorts.

Wingate served in submarines during the war, and his accounts carry the weight of personal knowledge. These are not dry operational histories but books written by someone who understood the fear and exhaustion of undersea combat.

The three books can be read independently, though reading all three gives a fuller picture of the submarine war across different theaters and roles.
