It was the menace of the German submarines that so nearly brought defeat to the British in World War II. The U-Boats wreaked havoc on Allied merchant ships and their vital cargoes, but in turn suffered horrendous losses, vanquished by the superior tactics and dogged seamanship of their pursuers. Seventy per cent of U-Boat crewmen perished at sea. This is the story of the U-Boat wars, from 1914 to 1945, recreated from the experiences of German survivors, a tale of constant danger.

Great Book Not A Classic,
By "slicksteve" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battle Beneath the Waves: The U-Boat War (Hardcover)
This book is a very good book, but not a classic or exceptional book. It basically, tells you about specific u-boats. Intresting Pictures. I would recommend you to buy this after you buy Hitler's U-Boat War by Clay Blair (5/5)(theres two volumes). You read them first to give a good overall (very detailed) (even if you can't spell u-boat) knowledge. This book will add to that knowledge with specific knowledge of specific u-boats. Basically, you want to be an expert to u-boats. Buy these books (mention earlier). You will be on your way. You will blow peoples MINDS. Its a must for the (WW II) history buff's library. Get all three. You won't be sorry!
