Thanks AG1424.
Have got most of the books that were mentioned for the u-boat war on order now so looking forward to reading them when they arrive.
Thanks for the list and discriptions of the books about the pacific theater. Will start to search for them soon. Was searching though my bookcase and found that i had 2 books on the pacific.
MIRACLE AT MIDWAY by Gordon W. Prange
INFAMY: PEARL HARBOUR AND IT'S AFTERMATH by John Toland
Both i found to be great reading especialy the pearl harbour book was struck by the massive infighting among the people at the top of the U.S.A. Codebraking. It painted a picture that pearl harbour could have been avoided. The book also paints a very shaddy picture at the very top of the U.S.A. goverment, Navy and Army at the time. It left me with the opinon that Admiral Kimmel was used as a scapegoat by the top brass. A very sad state of affairs if you ask me.
