For Battle of Atlantic-

U-boat Commander, by Peter 'Ali' Cremer

Fast paced and exciting. Everything from the 'Happy Times' to the desperate days at the end of the war.

For the Pacific Campaign-

Thunder Below, Eugene Fluckey

Covers the patrols of BARB when Fluckey was in command and the exploits that gained him the Congressional Medal of Honor. If they ever made a 'Das Boot' for US submarines, I would suggest this book as the basis. Wow.
