Octavo, black boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 244 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Out of 820 U-boats that participated in the Battle of the Atlantic, 781 were destroyed in action; out of 40,000 men, more than 30,000 lost their lives. These horrifying statistics on the survival rate of the German wolf packs in World War II are at last given meaning in this true-life thriller by famed U-boat ace Peter "Ali" Cremer. One of just three senior submarine commands to survive, Cremer conveys the realities of the war as few writers can. The high losses experienced by the well-trained Untersee-Waffe are unique in the history of warfare. After the spring of 1943, when the tide of war in the Atlantic was dramatically reversed and these notorious hunters became the hunted, the life expectancy of a German submariner was estimated at no more than fifty days. But, as this book vividly shows, Cremer was clearly an exception. With the reputation of a cat with nine lives, he had the remarkable ability to bring his boat back to port time and again, and each time the popular refrain "Ali's better than life insurance" took on added significance. The grim realities of submarine warfare and the reasons why Cremer enjoyed such high regard as a skipper are strikingly illustrated in a breathtaking early scene. Cremer describes his experience when his U 333 was caught on the surface by a British corvette and force into a duel. The bloody battle lasted twenty-five long minutes before he could break away and submerge. Everyone on the bridge was killed or wounded, with Cremer himself being hit nine times. Despite his severe wounds and heavy damage to the boat, he managed to save both ihs crew and his submarine. Cremer takes the reader into the thick of combat throughout the book, offering an extraordinary picture of what life was like aboard a German submarine.
