Using war diaries, after-action reports, and first-hand accounts, authors Bercuson and Herwig examine the story behind Operation Neuland, the German plan to interrupt vital oil supplies from reaching the United States and the United Kingdom by preventing Allied oil tankers from leaving refineries in the Caribbean. The story begins in February 1942 and follows this German attempt to scuttle the Allied war machine through to the end of the war. Told largely from the German perspective, it details the planning and execution of the Germans and the diplomatic, political, and military responses of the Allies, particularly the United States, to overcome the German effort. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xNaval operations$xSubmarine$y20th century$zCaribbean Area 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xNaval operations, German$zCaribbean Area 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xHistory 606 $aHistory - General$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xNaval operations$xSubmarine 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xNaval operations, German 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xHistory 615 7$aHistory - General 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 700 $aBercuson$b David Jay$0901397 702 $aHerwig$b Holger H. 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476787103321 996 $aLong night of the tankers$92192830 997 $aUNINA
