Table of ContentsReviewsBreathless, terrifying U-boat drama ... a masterclass in economical, tight-space storytelling, piling the pressure on both characters and audience * TIME OUT * When well-known novels are made into films, we often hear the lament, 'it isn't as good as the book'. But it's refreshing to come across an original book on which a highly respected movie was based and find that both share the same level of accomplishment. Buchheim's remarkable U-boat narrative has all the clammy tension of Wolfgang Pedersen's acclaimed film. Written by a survivor of the U-boat fleet, this story of World War II delivers a powerful punch as its drama of men in battle in the north Atlantic unfolds. (Kirkus UK) Author InformationLothar-Gunther Bucheim was born in 1918 and grew up in Saxony. When the war broke out he joined the navy and served on mine-sweepers, destroyers and submarines, on the last as an official navy correspondent.
