Black May : The Epic Story of the Allies' Defeat of the German U-Boats in May 1943

Rating:
Summary: Too much at times
Review: Though informative and revealing at the outset, a full, "complete" account of a multitude of tiny military encounters will inevitably succumb to repetition, and Black May falls prey to this danger. Only a pedant or someone interested in minute details will appreciate the massive list of U-boat sightings and depth charge attacks. Personally, Gannon had lost me by the halfway mark. I could have gone straight to the conclusion and missed nothing really important.

I did, however, enjoy the technical descriptions of allied equipment, as well as that of the different U-Boat types.
