Thank You for your response.


I hear ya. I will read and continue to read every book affiliated with this war.

Anyways.. I took a walk a few days ago with my wife into "OLD TOWN CLOVIS" Its a town in the central valley of California just east of Fresno. I came across a book store with a crazy amount old and forgotten books. The owner barely stays in business in this time and age.
Many of the books so old they seems to crack and moan with every turn of the page.

So much ww2 material it almost stops my heart( and im only 43yrs old)

I feel like Indy from the Indiana Jones Movies.

ITS AWESOME!

I've had very good luck with the used book sellers on Amazon. I can't recall a time I've had a book sent that was not in the condition they described it as. I just have a personal rule: don't buy books that cost more than $10 unless it's a very special something. Amazon has never let me down on this!

If you're interested, here's my "must haves" out of my U-boat library:

Steel Boats, Iron Hearts: http://www.amazon.com/Steel-Boat-Iro...6506749&sr=1-1

Torpedo Junction: The U-boat War Off America's East Coast: http://www.amazon.com/Torpedo-Juncti...6506779&sr=1-1

Operation Drumbeat: http://www.amazon.com/Operation-Drum...6506858&sr=1-1

U-boat Ace: The Story of Wolfgang Luth: http://www.amazon.com/U-Boat-Ace-Sto...6506880&sr=1-1

U-boat War Patrol: The Hidden Photographic Library of U-564: http://www.amazon.com/U-boat-War-Pat...ref=pd_sim_b_8

U-boote Crews Daily Life 1939-1945: http://www.amazon.com/U-BOOTE-CREWS-.../dp/235250046X

and I'm just finishing Buchheim's (the author of Das Boot) U-boat War: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?...chheim&x=0&y=0 and it's excellent. Chock full of awesome pictures!

Every book is worth reading...memoirs are the best to read Go through SS Amazon and look for books at Amazon. I get great books off Amazon. In fact, I just received two yesterday.
