U-Boot war history books?

S! all again. A slow day at work continues so here we go blathering still

Now I've seen the movie & read the story (talking 'bout L. G. Buchheim's magnificent Das Boot of course) and played SHIII like crazy for the last month or so, and in addition do possess a general jist of things U-Bootkrieg from my previous history readings. But regardless of that I now find myself in a situation of badly wanting to expand on that knowledge - AND FAST! - so can you please point out a book you'd reckon is the definitive work on the subject to me? I'm mainly interested in an all-encompassing analysis á la Alan Clark's "Barbarossa" if such a book exists, i.e. something I can really dig into.

Thanks for any pointers you care to share with me my fellow Kaleuns
