I love that one. I got it for 2 bucks at the bargain table for history books at Chapters. Very fun to read a prolific escort captain's account of how things were before Britain got her stuff together. Especially fun to read about kretchmer getting captured. Apparently it was all a junior officer's fult he was sunk; diving when he shouldn't have thus exposing the u-boat to the asdic ray of the DD.
Actually something to learn there.
