Thanks for the suggestions, I have to get my hands on those too.

I am currently reading
"Silent Victory: The U.S. Submarine War Against Japan" by Clay Blair Jr

which is full of interesting details, but perhaps even too much detail, i seems to list every war patrol in the war....which might prove to be too much.


I also have the habit of reading several books at the same time, normally 3 or 4, and I usually rotate between then, picking one a day.

outside the naval field I am currently also reading:

Mob Boss: The Life of Little Al D’Arco, the Man Who Brought Down the Mafia
by Jerry Capeci, Tom Robbins, beeing a fan of the Sopranos, goodfellas, etc, I enjoy books on the american mob.

and also

The Last Coyote (Harry Bosch series #4) by Michael Connelly
