Displaying photographic coverage second to none, it has a wealth of submarine plans and profiles that illustrate every aspect of design and operation. Track the constant improvements implemented from World War I to World War II and beyond: the single-drive models, small and midget versions, the move to high submerge speed, the change to Type XXI and XXIII constructions, and production in the twilight of Nazi defeat. "A Selection of the Military Book Club."
This book contains a myriad of details on U-Boats; anyone who is interested in submarines and their development (especially it's evolution in Germany) needs a copy! Being a retired engineer, I tend to look for detailed information on things that interests me but typically have a hard time coming by it. The Deadly Deep, given to me as a Christmas gift, did a wonderful job at providing a history of the submarine and it's use, but only whetted my appetite for more technical detail. The U-Boat takes care of that.
