"Lavishly illustrated...This is a very interesting book, highly
relevant to post-war harbor defense, and highly recommended."
--Bolling Smith, The Coast Defense Journal "The authors revealed
the story in a well organized and easily read text. Original
artwork brings some of the great missions to life, and displays the
vessels in beyond what most photographs can. The photographic
choices are very interesting. Many are useful for modelers and
artists. This book should be welcome to those interested in Axis
special forces, naval operations, submarines and torpedoes."
--Frederick Boucher, KitMaker Network "In this book the authors
have done a superb job of covering the development and deployment
of all the various types of Axis midget submarine (and there ware
more than you'd think). The book has a lot of superb period photos
of these craft and this is additionally enhanced by some excellent
art work ... an excellent title and one that I'm sure you will find
a fascinating read." --Scott van Aken, www.modelingmadness.com
