I have all three books.

I just ordered "Silent Victory" After I finish that, I would like to get this battle of atlantic by Blair.. But I don't see it anywhere.. Just "Hitlers u boat war"

Hitlers U-Boat War vol 1 The Hunters http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hitlers-U-Bo...4818556&sr=8-1

vol 2 The Hunted http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hitlers-U-Bo...4818556&sr=8-5

I see Amazon is pretty proud of Volume 2 across the pond as well as over here in the States.

Operation Drumbeat by Michael Gannon.
The only copy I've seen was at a local library

Haven't read this one, but I can recommend "Black May" by the same author - about mai '43 and the beginning of the end of the u-boat war.

just a question of demand - once you have read the first book you also want the second one. It took me some months to find the latter at a reasonable price on ebay.
