Information taken from the back of the book:
"U-Boat: Combat Missions takes the reader through every section of a combat U-boat, giving a comprehensive view of what it was like to live - and fight - in an "Iron Coffin". Uniquele, first-hand accounts from crewmembers are grouped with commissioned photographs of a Type VIIC U-boat, U995; together with the many rare memorabilia and archive photos that are also featured, the book brings the experiences of the U-boat men alive in truly vivid detail."
"First-person accounts, most previously unpublished, from surving World War II U-boat crewmembers."
"Crewmembers from every U-boat section are featured in turn - from the Bow Torpedo Room to the Diesel Engine and the Electric Motor Room - giving a complete overview of what it was like to be on patrol in a combat U-boat."
"Illustrated with more than 120 items of memorabilia, some 50 specially commissioned photos of the last-surviving type VIIC U-boat, U995, and over 170 archive photos."
I have red the book and must say that it is well written, U-boat technics are very understandable, color photos of each U995 section completed with wartime b/w photos and first-person U-boat crewmembers accounts.
Reading this book you are really going through an U-boat !.
Hardbound version, with extra paper protection cover, printed on quality paper, sharp photos, large size book: 28,5 cm x 26 cm, 156 pages.
