you guys need to read about the true warriors of uboots "the Germans"... Which had the greatest action of the battle of the atlantic..
Read "Hitlers Uboat War"
"Battle of the Atlantic"
and "Iron Coffins"
all nonfiction (or true books)..

Heres 3 for me:

"Utmost Savagery: The three days at Tarawa" by Col. J.H Alexander.

"Operation Iceberg" by Gerald Astor. About Okinawa.

"In Harms Way" by Doug Stanton. About the terrible ordeal of the survivors of the Indianapolis.

I wrote my senior history thesis paper on the USS Indianapolis. This book was a nail-biter through and through.

One of our Submarines is by Edward Young.

U333 by Peter Cremer is exactly the same format but is written by a German U-Boat ace. Both are excellent reads.

Do you have the ISBN for the book (which I'm presuming is finctional). The only ww1 book (fictional) I've ever come across is "Patrol to the Golden Horn". I've googled "The Last Patrol" but it only comes up with a ww2 book.
