I've heard of the silent steel book. I haven't read it though.

I highly recommend it. The author maintains a pretty good balance of technical information and human interest stories. The latter aspect is quite depressing at times; apparently the bad maintenance and lack of leave made morale extremely low. In some respects it was like the men knew they were doomed beforehand.
