U-Boat Ace

Vause, W: 1990 Naval Institute Press USA, hardcover with dust jacket, 235 pages, illustrated. U-Boat Ace; The Story of Wolfgang Lüth by Jordan Vause is a critical biography of Germany’s second-highest scoring U-boat commander, tracing his 47 confirmed sinkings across multiple theaters and examining how his career embodied both the tactical evolution of the U-boat war and the propaganda machinery of the Nazi regime. Drawing on interviews and documents, Vause portrays Lüth as a figure of stark contradictions, both a decorated national hero and a ruthless operator, using this complex character study to explore the moral ambiguities of submarine warfare in the Atlantic and beyond.
