Seamonsters by Tony Matthews


Tjis one is an interesting read. It looks at the most infamous submarine commanders in WW2, what war crimes they comitted and how the investigation into those War Crimes went and the subsequent legal ramifications and sentencing.

Some of it can make your stomach turn.

and

probably for the 8th time now

Iron Coffins by Herbert Werner


In my opinion the best but I'm biased because its the first book I ever truly read soon as I was old enough to read beyond Dr Seuess and whatnot. The accounts in this book are visceral and really put you into a claustrophobic inducing tin can at the bottom of the ocean, waiting anxiously for the depth charges to finish.

The Second World Wars by Victor Davis Hanson.

Examines all major combatants from several POV. Some very interesting facts and unique conclusions.
very scholarly work.

Brushed up my neglected school German by reading a WWI U-boat personal account by:

Ernst Hashagen. U–Boote Westwärts! Meine Fahrten um England 1914 — 1918.

Even though this was published in Berlin 1931 it seems authentic.

i'm reading two books, at the moment:

Marching Orders by Bruce Lee (the author not the martial artist)
Excellent Book on the WWII decisions made by all sides due to the code-breaking and cryptoanalysis by each each side. Clearly, the Allies got the better of it, but this book delves into what was known by the Allied Leadership at the critical junctions of the war, based on recently re-classified WWII messages that were not available when Ike and Bradley, etc wrote their biographies.

Armada by Colin Martin.
20th century book updated in 2022.
Tells the story of the demise of the Spanish Empire in the 16th century and the rise of the English Navy, which would become the pre-eminent naval force for nearly four hundred years.

HumbleBundle just ran a Eerie compilation sale and is currently running a Creepy compilation sale, so I'm set for horror comics for a bit.
