[JD · Rating 4 out of 5]

As the title suggest, the book centers around the battle between the destroyer. HMCS St Croix, and the U-boat, U-305, in September 1943. The book is rich in detail focusing on both ships' history and that of their commanding officers. Not the most entertaining read, but still a good story and recommended to people with an interest in the Battle of the Atlantic and the Royal Canadian Navy.

Exceptional book chronicling the history of a Canadian warship and the tragic loss of HMCS ST CROIX.

This is the only Published book concerning H.M.C.S. ST. CROIX and U-305 during the Battle of the Atlantic/1939-1945. These two Canadian Professors, whom are EXPERTS on W.W.II History; have RESEARCHED and WRITTEN DEADLY SEAS-to a NON-FICTION POINT OF VIEW, that while READING, you ACTUALLY REALIZE you may be in THE BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC.

These two well known Canadian Professors of History, compiled Deadly Seas-so EXPERTLY; that the PRODUCTION COMPANY SCREEN LIFE INCORPERATED, made a DOCUMENTARY FILM...DEADLY SEAS, which you very SELDOM SEE-OF A BOOK PUBLISHED.

DEADLY SEAS, MADE IT TO NUMBER ONE, ON THE TOP SELLERS LIST, and was PUBLISHED in Canadian Newspapers, across Canada.

BRAVO ZULU, to Dr. David BERCUSON and Dr. Holger HERWIG.

It's been years since I read this. I think the story was good but the writing style was pretty awful.
