Submarine commander : a story of World War II and… by Paul R. Schratz
Well written account of a submariner who served throughout WW2 into Korea. He presents life on subs in a balanced manner and makes the many perils clear. Recommended read.

Quick and and candid as well as interesting read which is a good snaphot of one officer's life in WW2 submarines.
