13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. a home run!!By ci bought this book a few weeks back cause i have always been very interested in uboats; fascinated would be a better word; i have probably 50 books on u boats; this book is probably one of the best books i've ever owned; the book is big; coffee table size;it has 450 pages;the first part of the book deals with a history of u boats sinking warships in WW2; then it goes into procedures; an example of this is type of torpedos used;proper procedures on how to initiate a torpedo attack by using the TDC (torpedo data computer) and so forth; then the fun begins!! it has a massive list of warships sunk by u boats in ww2; each ship has a few pages devoted to it;it talks about when the ship was built; a brief history of the ship and when and how it was sunk; who sank it and how did it happen;when the submarine log detailing the incident survived its posted also; very fascinating; so if you like uboats get this book; it is out of this world;a note to modellers out there; nothing in here is good for modelling so don't buy this book for that; the pictures detailing the ships that were sunk are small and in black and white; this is a highly technical book and nothing to do with pictures or modelling so be aware of that before you plunk 70 dollars for it; the book is expensive but worth every penny for us u boat nuts out there.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A remarkable book with research to boggle the mind.By Rich MarshThey have sure done their research. Not only did they research all the German sources; they also checked into Allied sources on the same sinking. It helps eliminate my monolithic view of the Kriegsmarine. The various logs show a wide range of opinion and activity. My one complaint is the frequent reference to events discussed in the co-volume of this book.... which I can't otherwise find.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The missing link to WWII naval history researchBy Anthony MortFirst Class reference book which provided the AXIS operational logs for specific U-Boats which are key to my family history research.
