{"product_id":"the-official-u-boat-commanders-handbook-bob-carruthers-9781781580561","title":"The Official U-boat Commander's Handbook - The Illustrated Edition","description":"This is the complete wartime translation by the U.S. Navy of the 1943 edition of the official handbook given to all U-boat commanders. The original handbook was compiled from combat reports and was regularly updated throughout the war. The handbook was an invaluable reference for every operational U-boat commander. Simply written and highly accessible for a wider audience, the U-boat handbook attempted to anticipate every possible situation and to advise on suitable tactics. This superb war-time primary source is enhanced by a rare series of photographs taken on an actual combat patrol and published during the time of the Third Reich in the book \"U-Boot Auf Feindfahrt\". Together the handbook and these rare photographs provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of the U-boats from a first hand perspective, and is essential reading for anyone interested in World War II from primary sources. This book is part of the 'Hitler's War Machine' series, a new military history range compiled and edited by Emmy Award winning author and historian Bob Carruthers. The series draws on primary sources and contemporary documents toprovide a new insight into the true nature of Hitler's Wehrmacht. The series consultant is David Mcwhinnie creator of the award winning PBS series 'Battlefield'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Carruthers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781580561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781580561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bookzine Company Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Bob Carruthers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979659870463,"sku":"9781781580561","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ecc3c0a-bac8-4700-ad2c-b2ee165e94cf.jpg?v=1683246405","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-official-u-boat-commanders-handbook-bob-carruthers-9781781580561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
