hi Roasty
Iron Coffins; contraversial, he made it up from (memory), does not
all check out with history - but still a fine read, a classic. (a hot potato here at subsim!)
luth, u boat ace, excellent! whish i was about to read it.
Handbook - a handbook of do's and donts for the real commander - excellent to pick thru.
i have 5 at my feet.
lothar-gunthar bucheim; u boat war. a pictorial essay/diary in black and white photos - A MUST, if you can afford it!
timothy p mulligan; neither sharks nor wolves; a nuts and bolts of the men who trained and served in the u boat arm. a little dry to read, but totally immersive. maybe pricey£££
michael gannon: operation drumbeat: u boats attack american coast. one of my favorites, i didnt want it to end. it is BRILLIANT!
jordan vause. wolf: u boat commanders in ww2. another
fine book by the author. about the more well known commanders. he writes with care and love for his subject.
clay blair: Hitlers U Boat War. The Hunters 1939-1942. some regard this as the bible. it is a 2 parter. the other is The Hunted 42-45. a big job coming in at 800 pages. it covers everything. from amazon:
Already acclaimed on publication in the United States, the U-Boat war is here chronicled with authority, fidelity, objectivity, and extraordinary detail. He also writes vivid and dramatic scenes of naval actions with startling new revelations and conclusions about all aspects of the Battle of the Atlantic. he can get a panning from certain critics
....and there are so many more too.........keep on reading
