Iron Coffins - what is the difference?

I was searching for a place to buy Herbert A. Werner's "Iron Coffins - A Personal Account of the German U-Boat Battles of World War II", when I found another title called "Iron Coffins: A U-boat Commander's War, 1939-45", also by Werner.

Does anybody know if there is a difference between the two, beside the title and cover?

Thanks,
GLassen

The difference is probably based on publication date and cover type. Every new printing gets a new ISBN, and Hardback and Paperback editions are of course different.

Here is a link to 0304353302:

And here is 030681160X:

And a general section with all available copies:

Thanks for the answers, the difference might be based on the printing date, as mentioned by Sailor Steve, but also the fact that it's two different publishers (Da Capo Press and Casell Military Paperbacks).
