The U-Boat War in the Caribbean

Rating:
Summary: A complete, well researched picture of the Caribbean WWII
Review: An easy, interresting read with many small stories of human intrest. A must read for any WWII buff, submarine buff, Caribbean buff or member of the Army or Navy Air Corp. After reading this book, I understand more of the terrible fight that happened in these waters, the courage shown by the Merchant Marine, the bravery of the air crews and even the caginess of the German sub crews. Don't miss the story about the pig swimming around in the Caribbean sea and the sub crew that rescued it and took it back to Germany.

Summary: Chapter 2 Only
Review: The chapter 2, "Operation Neuland Begins", about the U-156 attack on the Lago Refinery in Aruba has a great deal of inaccuracies in significant details of the attack. There are too many to address in a short review but I would suggest that anyone interested in this particular event obtain a recently re-published book, "German U-Boat 156 Brought War to Aruba February 16, 1942" by William C. Hochstuhl who was employed by Lago Oil & Transport Co. It was well researched and has a good number of historical and unique pictures and personal testimonials of the attack by local residents.
