This
unique
WWII
history
combines
the
memoirs
of
a
Nazi
Admiral
with
secret
British
naval
reports
for
a
comprehensive
view
of
the
U-Boat
war.The
memoirs
of
Admiral
Karl
Dönitz,
Ten
Years
and
Twenty
Days,
are
a
fascinating
first-hand
account
of
the
Battle
of
the
Atlantic
as
seen
from
the
headquarters
of
the
U-boat
fleet.
Now,
noted
naval
historian
Jak
P.
Mallmann
Showell
has
combined
Dönitz's
memoirs
in
a
parallel
text
with
the
British
Admiralty's
secret
Monthly
Anti-Submarine
Reports
to
produce
a
unique
view
of
the
U-boat
war
as
it
was
perceived
at
the
time
by
both
sides.The
British
Monthly
Anti-Submarine
Reports
were
classified
documents
issued
only
to
senior
officers
hunting
U-boats.
They
were
supposed
to
have
been
returned
to
the
Admiralty
and
destroyed
at
the
end
of
the
War,
but
by
chance
a
set
survived
in
the
archives
of
the
Royal
Navy's
Submarine
Museum
in
Gosport.
They
offer
significant
and
hitherto
unavailable
insight
into
the
British
view
of
the
Battle
of
the
Atlantic
as
it
was
being
fought.With
expert
analysis
of
these
firsthand
sources
from
opposing
sides
of
the
conflict,
Jak
P.
Mallmann
Showell
presents
what
may
be
the
most
complete
contemporary
account
of
the
desperate
struggle
in
the
North
Atlantic
during
the
Second
World War.
