Clay Blair Jr., Silent Victory - about the U.S. submarine campaign...
I may get this book for Christmas. I got 300 pages in before returning it to the library and found it deep, entertaining and informative.
+1 Excellent. On the other hand, I do not like his two-volume Hitler's U-boat War.
To add color to Blair's operational history, try reading in order:
Pigboat 39 - Guigloitta [pre-war and early war in an S-boat with color about life in the USN during the era]
Wahoo - O'Kane [mid-war in a fleet boat]
Clear the Bridge! - O'Kane [mid to late war in a fleet boat]
Then maybe:
Iron Coffins - Werner [a German perspective on the War in the Atlantic including some color on life in the Reich]
Unbroken - Mars [subs in the Med, a British perspective]
