What are the best five U-Boat books?

I've been an avid subsim fan for many years now and love playing SHIII in particular having prior to this only really played nuke sims such as Fast Attack, Janes 688i, and finally Sub Command.

However it is the Atlantic campaign of WW2 which grabs my interest over any other. Sadly I have very little literature on my bookshelf relating to the U-Boat war and the battle in the Atlantic during the Second World War. In fact the only book that I own on the subject is 'Wolf Pack: The Story of the U-Boat in World War II' by Gordon Williamson. I bought this when last in Australia at a budget book store closing down sale for just AUD £12. It made for good reading on the 22 hour flight back to the UK.

Now I wish to expand my reading on the subject. The only book that I have on my list to get so far is 'Iron Coffins' by Herbet A Werner.

So what would be in your top five must read books on U-Boats and the Battle of the Atlantic?
