“I've read many books on World WarII and submarine warfare. This is one of the best I've read. The writer puts you in the submarine. Not only is his writing good but his research is extensive and accurate. He weaves a story that shows the compassion and dedication of the silent service. This is a must read for anyone interested in submarine warfare!” – Jared (Hawaii, US)
“I read just about any WWII history book I can get my hands on, be it navy, army, air corps or marines. This is one of the best I've read on submarines. The selflessness of this and all brave crews living in cramped, smelly, over heated tin cans is amazing. I doubt I could ever do that. I’m amazed at the sacrifice and courage of these men. The author really puts a face to the battles that happened under the water, securing the seas for the victory of the allied forces. Simply wonderful!” – Anna (Minnesota, US)

These U-boats and their crew and especially their captains had a very dangerous and menacing purpose. They were wreaking havoc on innocent people and they seemed to thrive on the kill. I personally did not enjoy reading the German side of the war and their missions. I feel that the crew was led by evil and I never was able to see them in any other light. It was, however, well written.

Informative Insights
As someone who's been qualified and submarines for almost 50 years I find the Book very informative and insightful. I can relate to the dedication of the men in the seven range of all services and I find the experiences of all of them heartfelt. In particular when the first submarine to separate action occurred in there surviving crew felt a sense of regret it with the other crew was going through. Every submariner would feel the sense of sadness if exposed to those circumstances.

Interesting accounts of some of the storied submarines in WW2 and their crews, and the massive destruction they unleashed across the seas.

Very boreing and poorly written
Boring poorly written. No plot no action. Far to many. Unneeded details. Writer had no knowledge of naval terms or submarine operatipns

Incredible Heroes
I have often wondered at he some people scoff at the term
"The Greatest Generation." Imagine the courage of the men who manned the submarines of WWII. Trapped inside a vessel that could at any moment after attacking an enemy vessel be crushed by the depths to which they had to go to avoid an avenging destroyer's depth charges. Many of these crews paid the ultimate price for their daring. Yes, they were a part of "The Greatest Generation."

Short, interesting stories about various submarines engaged in World War II battles. I liked the one about the captain choosing rather to perish in his sinking sub than to be rescued because he knew the Japanese would torture him and possibly force him to reveal a vital secret.

What brave submariners!
Good facts, and appeal. Author includes several nations efforts, photographs, and letters.
Would recommend stories and links to any naval combat enthusiast.

I was expecting more details from the crew on life in submarine warfare from being the Hunter and being the hunted,

Fantastic
Although never served on a submarine, I was stationed in Groton and had many contacts with the crew's. I received my highest commission at the submarine base.

Some editorial inaccuracies
Would recommend to WW II and submarine readers. Could use more photos. Mostly an enjoyable pastime. Would probably read other books by this author.
