The personal accounts are very good - Peter Cremer's U-333, Werner's 'Iron Coffins' (both captains survived, which in itself is noteworthy).
Secondly, the web has loads of good stuff. uboatarchive.net is fascinating, just fof the ASW accounts. You get a picture of a USN and RN that are absolutely at the top of their game, facing an increasingly inexperienced enemy. The methodical precision with which U-boats were hunted down to destruction is quite chilling reading, and an insight into the utter futility of the war.
Read about I-52 (the Japanese cargo sub) for perhaps an ultimate case study in exactly what the Allies were capable of by 1944. Listen to the recordings on the net (chilling). Radar. Sonobuoys (in 1944!!!), homing torpedoes, intelligence intercepts. Basically, a hit in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, executed like a contract killing. Incredible.
