[James Yong · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting account of what long range submarine warfare was like in World War 2, especially with an uncooperative ally and flagging logistics system.
This book conveys the intense frustration felt by all ranks manning Germany’s long range u-boat fleet.
A somewhat high level account with some interesting tales thrown in.
