Admiral Doenitz offers a firsthand account of Germany’s naval war and the turbulent years that carried him from senior submarine command to the final days of the Third Reich. He traces the development of the U-boat campaign, the strategy and pressures surrounding wartime command, and the decisions made as defeat closed in. Written from the perspective of one of Germany’s highest-ranking naval officers, this memoir provides a revealing primary-source view of military leadership, the conduct of the Battle of the Atlantic and the twenty days during which Doenitz headed Germany at the war’s end.
