I also liked the aspect that very little is known publically about the American submarine war, while the U-Boat war has been utterly sainted and deified as if it were some kind of great noble cause. So both sides have been utterly distorted, one by mere omission and the other by hagiography.

I think that is a great point. I think it's interesting to read about the u-boat war from a merchant sailor's point of view. It's not so glamo(u)rous. Swimming in oil, being in a life raft for days after being horribly burned. Then there's the civilian casualties
. I can only read so much about mothers who drown, cluching their drown baby. (See Lustitana)
