I'd like to recommend "Black May" by Michael Gannon. IMO it is a perfect mixture of "fiction kind of mood" stuff (narrative style, anecdotes) and at the same time a short and brilliant analysis of the Atlantic war. It tells the decisive battle from both perspectives, u-boat and escort crews and highlights the climax and turning point, the fierce convoy battles in 1942/1943 (large wolf packs vs. well escorted convoys) and the final defeat of the German u-boat fleet in May 1943.
