The memoirs of Admiral Karl Doenitz, 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, for the first
time noted naval historian Jak P. Mallmann Showell has combined
Doenitz'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, and 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, allowing the reader a hitherto
unavailable insight into the British view of the Battle of the
Atlantic as it was being fought. Together with the authors
commentary adding information that was either unknown or too secret
to reveal at the time, this book gives possibly the most complete
contemporary account of the desperate struggle in the North
Atlantic in the Second World War.
