Some of his statistical analyses are interesting. They really show that the Germans really didn't come that close to strangling Britain as many history books lead you to believe. His stuff on codebreaking is pretty interesting and made me want to delve deeper into the subject. He tends to overlook the human side of the battle and the great cost in human terms, but both books are a must for any serious student of the Battle of the Atlantic. Good luck trying to find a cheap copy of the second one though. $60 new on Amazon right now. I was able to find a used one a few years ago in "Very Good" condition that turned out looking like someone used it as an actual submarine in the bathtub. If you like both of these books and are interested in the submarine war in the Pacific, check out his "Silent Victory:The US Subamrine War Against Japan". There's only one volume and it can be dry as well.
