The time life book called "War under the Pacific" is a good one, give a great overview of the Pacific undersea campagin. It also has a chapter on Japanese submarine operations, and a brief history of British operations as well.

It's best to source a second hand copy from Amazon or the like, I'm not giving up mine!!!
