From April 29 to May 24, 1943, German U-Boats took heavy losses during the Battle of the Atlantic. Prior to this, Allies had been losing ships at a much heavier rate than their opponents. At the this period, there were about 240 U-Boats that were operational, and 118 of those were at sea. One of the most notable death's during this period was the son of Admiral Donitz, which I had no clue about before reading this.

I have had this book for a long time, and I wish that I would have gotten around to reading it sooner. This was a very informative book. I am much less knowledgeable about sea battles during World War II than I would like to admit, so this book was thoroughly beneficial to me. The research was done very well, and the writing was very interesting. I burned through this book, because it was dramatic. I am just a bit late getting to my reviews because I was gone all weekend. If you are looking to learn more about U-Boats or sea battles, I would strongly suggest picking this book up.
