Stories on German U-Boats

4736. The Hunters and the Hunted, by Jochen Brennecke Translated by R. H. Stevens (read 3 Aug 2010) This is a book by a German author telling of German submarines during World War Ii. It is sort of chronological, but accounts are often not identified by date, and no effort is made to rely on postwar material. All too often the tone is triumphalistic, and of course there is no recognition that the men of the German Navy were fighting for an evil cause. There are no footnotes, no bibliography, and no source notes. There are some interesting accounts, but the defects of this book far outweigh its merits. (
