CHALMERS, W. S. Max Horton and the Western Approaches: A Biography of Admiral Sir Max Kennedy Horton, GCB, DSO. xvi, 302p., illus., index. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1954.

The greater part of this biography concerns Horton's career in WWII. He began the war in command of the Reserve Fleet, but immediately moved to take command of the Northern Patrol. He then returned to his first love as Vice-Admiral Submarines. In November 1942 he moved to command the Western Approaches and to win the Battle of the Atlantic decisively. An important and readable account.
