I'm currently reading Wolf U-Boat Commanders in World War 2 by Jordan Vause and its excellent just wondering what other good U-Boat books people have read ?

The best book on WWII's Uboat war is Clay Blair's two-volume: Hitler's U-boat War: no imho about it! Get this scholarly duo under your belt and you've done your homework!

Blair's book is not without some serious flaws:

Just mindless nit picky criticism because Clay correctly pointed out that the U-boats were never a real threat.

Clay Blair's two volume set which I have read twice over and have used countless times as a reference is hands down the best on the subject.
