Wolfpack

EARLY PRAISE FOR WOLFPACK

‘Roger Moorhouse is becoming a major authority in his field. Wolfpack is a significant contribution and rightly places the U-boat campaign at the heart of Germany’s strategy during the Second World War. Compellingly written, he seamlessly blends fascinating technical detail with human experience – often profoundly moving – and authoritative strategic insight. Wolfpack is a superb work of history’

James Holland

‘A thrilling account from a master of Second World War history’

Dan Snow

‘In this impeccably researched and beautifully constructed book, Roger Moorhouse tells the thrilling but ultimately tragic story of Germany’s U-boats in the Second World War … This superb history tells the story from a new perspective’

Saul David

‘The ‘Allied Version of History’ tends to be repeated ad infinitum, and the search goes on for realistic interpretations of the Second World War. By writing an account of the Battle of the Atlantic from the perspective of German U-boatmen, Roger Moorhouse has done much to restore the emotional balance and to complete an inclusive picture. Very readable. Humane, comprehensive, well sourced and gripping’

Norman Davies

‘This is a book that, once read, will leave the reader with the impression that they didn’t really know anything about the U-Boat war at all, and that now they do’

Robert Lyman

‘Wolfpack dives far deeper than the usual U-boat book and will become the standard text from now on. In a highly original work, Moorhouse brilliantly analyses the only campaign that really frightened Churchill, using the words of Hitler’s submariners themselves’

Peter Caddick-Adams

‘A fascinating exploration of the real war experienced by German submariners—the sights, the smells, the highs, the lows, and their greatest fears. Roger Moorhouse has succeeded remarkably well in speaking for this largely faceless group, of whom only 25 percent survived the war’
