Top review from the United States

Bev Thompson
1.0 out of 5 stars BORING
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2014

We couldn't get far in this book without falling asleep. It reads like a text book, with dates and events. I ordered this book because I wanted to read about the capture of the U-559, but instead of holding our attention to the events leading up to the capture, or the capture itself, the author chose to throw it all in one paragraph, and one paragraph ONLY. We were extremely disappointed and threw the book aside, in favor of Daniel Gallery's "Eight Bells and All's Well," which, as we expected from this very entertaining author, is the exact opposite. Unless you like reading school books, don't waste your money on this one.
