There have been many books published on U-boats, the Kriegsmarine, Battle of the Atlantic, etc. over the last 50 years. It's hard to recommend a book not knowing your taste in reading. Some books are very detail oriented or in fact, reference material. Others are written by the participants in the U-boat arm, thus deal with a lot of personal history and are quite interesting. And others, are more photographic in nature with captions.

If you plan to collect as I do, always buy hardcover books, 1st editions if possible. I made the mistake of buying soft cover books when I first began reading U-boat books. I have now replaced all but a few with the original hardback edition. If you're careful and selective, you can buy the original hardcover books cheaper than new soft cover editions.
