What People are Saying About This

Thomas Fleming

"An absolutely stunning book...the stuff of Pulitzer Prizes."

Clay Blair

"A truly wonderful book--the best by far that I have read on U-boats and believe me, I have read them all. It combines a great knowledge of U-boats and meticulous scholarship with dramatic narrative."
