review 1: A Measureless Peril tells a history that isn't in most history books. It tells a story of the chess match that took place in the Atlantic during WWII. The book is packed full of history and stories that are worth the read, but the author is too indulgent in telling his Dad's story at the end for the book to be taken seriously as a historical resource. Three stars: This book was two-thirds amazing and one-third tangent. The tangent brings it down to three stars.
review 2: I don't know what to say. This was a book filled with interesting material and I learned a lot about the war being fought on the Atlantic, yet it couldn't hold my attention. After nearly a month of trying to read it, I finally put it down at about page 250 (it's 330 pages). It's interesting ... moreto note how strong the German army was in the Atlantic and quite amazing, actually, that the Allies really won the war. less
