• Sommario/riassunto: This monograph by LCDR Brian J. Haggerty explores the role of U.S. submarines in conducting and supporting amphibious operations during World War II. It analyzes three significant operations: the raid on Makin Atoll, the landings during Operation Torch on the northwest African coast, and the landings on Attu Island in the Aleutian chain. The author highlights the evolution of submarine capabilities, particularly their adaptation for Special Operations Forces (SOF). The study provides insights into the strategic value, challenges, and benefits of using submarines for such missions, contributing to the broader understanding of naval power and warfare. Intended for military historians and naval strategists, this book underscores the importance of historical knowledge in shaping modern military practices.
