It's very good book i remember i could rarely put it down once it got into it. I know after reading i started to look at the people in power in the U.S.A. at the time in a whole new light.:nope:

Speaking of sub-related books, this seems like an interesting find on eBay...

Just started reading Steel Boat, Iron Hearts: A U-boat Crewman's Life Aboard U-505 by Hans Jacob Goebeler.

It's a GREAT first person (and for once not an officer's) account of life onboard a U-boat, in this case the well-known U-505.

I'm half way through it and it provides a nice blend of war and furlough. I'm currently reading of the sabotage problems U-505 and other boats experienced in Lorient in 1943. Anyone who thinks the SH3Cmdr malfunction/sabotage feature is unrealistic needs to read this chapter!
