Iron Coffins is absolutely one of the best. I read it many, many years ago.
Also good:
U-boats Destroyed (Paul Kemp - stats and descriptions of each sinking in WW1 and WW2)
The U-boat Offensive 1914-1945 (VE Tarrant)
U-boat Commanders and Crews 1935-45 (Jak Showell - includes appendixes listing who commanded which boats when, and the 'service life' of every boat)
Type VII U-boats (Robert Stern)
Sharks and Little Fish (novel by Wolfgang Ott, I think his name was)
Peter Cremer's memoir
and of course The Boat (Bucheim)
I have other books, but these are the ones that come immediately to mind.
I've been studying the U-boat service for about 35 years.
