Night Raider of the Atlantic and
The Golden Horseshoe. Both books are the same; IIRC, the original book was published in the UK as the Golden Horseshoe and then it was released in the US as the Night Raider of the Atlantic. There is a recent
Fortunes of War paperback edition titled The Golden Horseshoe but it is rather scarce and more expensive. The earlier released paperback editions of Night Raider of the Atlantic would most likely be cheaper.
Another recomendation: Danile V. Gallery's
Twenty Million Tons Under the Sea (in paperback it was titled:
U-505) Gallery commanded the Hunter Killer Group that captured U-505 and he was instrumental in bring the 505 to the museum in Chicago after the war. This is a very good read, well written and has a lot of background on u-boat warfare.
