Summary

This book highlights the trials and tribulations of World War II at sea, focusing on German U-boat 156, commanded by Admiral Werner Hartenstein, which mistakenly fired torpedoes into the British liner 'Laconia' off the coast of West Africa in 1942, an action which caused an outcry and resulted in post-war charges of capital war crimes.
