"Iron Coffins" by Herbert Werner (very well written, memorable imagery)
"Torpedo Junction" by Homer Hickam, Jr. (strong narrative)
"Silent Running: My Years on a World War II Attack Submarine" by James Calvert (brutally honest and heartfelt look back at a man's years on an American sub)
"The Battle of the Atlantic" by Andrew Williams (hardly worth the trouble)
"Hitler's U-Boat War" by Clay Blair (the definitive work on the Battle of the Atlantic. Long on research)
"Submarine!" by Edward Beach. (Not this author's best work; a poor history)
"Pig Boats" by Theodore Roscoe (writing is pretty bad, almost jingoistic. Some detail.)
