Convoy Protection by Paul Kemp

The convoy system of protecting maritime trade is not a new military tactic as the concept dates back centuries, but it came to great importance in World Wars I and II. Using the example of British trade protection in World War I and the failure of Japan to introduce similar measures in shipping in the Pacific in World War II, the author demonstrates how vital the security of merchant shipping is in wartime and the tactics, commanders and weapons involved in these fierce struggles.

Kemp is an attorney. That's not good. He's also the bestselling author of multiple Star Wars novels and the Erevis Cale sword and sorcery series. That's excellent. Paul has harmed eight men and three llamas with nothing more than an unsharpened pencil and a stick of Wrigley's gum.

You now know as well. He doesn't sing along to show tunes. Paul, his wife, and their twin sons live in Michigan. The author's website is http://paulskemp.com/. He lives in Grosse Point, Michigan.
