4.9 out of 5 stars  $8.95
The Sands of Pride: A Novel of the Civil War by William R. Trotter aka PC Gamer's Desktop General; Hardcover: 640 pages (2002)  By the author of the notable nonfiction trilogy The Civil War in North Carolina which Charles Frazier acknowledged as source material for Cold Mountain this all-encompassing roman … clef unfolds as a quixotic, skirmish-by-skirmish account of the early battles of the Civil War along North Carolina's labyrinthine coast. Opening on New Year's Eve 1860, almost six months before North Carolina's grudging decision to secede from the Union on May 20, 1861, this sprawling account revolves around the bustling seaport of Wilmington, which serves as the lifeline of the Confederacy. This masterful epic offers insight into the perfidious political agendas and personal greed underlying the bumbling and horrors suffered by both sides during the war. As it concludes in July 1863, portending the fall of Fort Fisher some two years later, a sequel seems likely.   4.6 out of 5 stars Usually ships in 24 hours   $19.60
War Beneath the Sea : Submarine Conflict During World War II -- Peter Padfield; Paperback - 576 pages (March 1998)  "Padfield is an acknowledged war historian and he writes in a very scientific and analytical way, doing away with the bravado stuff that merely distorts the picture for readers of later generations. It has an impressive list of sources and reference literature on the issue. For serious readers it is a clear "must consider"!!

Hitler's U-Boat War : The Hunters, 1939-1942 (Modern Library War)
by Clay Blair (Paperback - June 2000) Part 1 of 2
"A monster of a book. Covers every patrol by every U-boat. Mr. Blair was a noted submarine historian. His article in Life magazine and a book helped Rickover retain popular support to build the nuclear Navy. In this book, Blair strives to explain that the U-boat menace was over-dramatized and did not come all that close to winning the Battle of the Atlantic. What do you think?" -- Neal Stevens

VIDEOS & DVDs               
World War II: Battle Force - U-Boat (1998) -- VHS Video

This documentary opens with the ghostly image of the battered hull of a U-boat sunk on the next-to-last day of the war. Awaiting restoration at a Liverpool dry dock, the battered and rusted sub still evokes the deadly danger that permeated the minds of sailors for much of the war. During what German submarine crews called "The Happy Time," the early war years, the U-boats attacked mercilessly and with terrifying surprise. The documentary examines the evolving role of the U-boat in the war, including innovative design refinements and tactical deployments.

 Usually ships within 24 hours.  ONLY  $9.95  

U-Boat War Collection Set (1997) -- VHS Video

"If you are looking for an excellent all encompassing documentary of the U-boat war in the Atlantic during WWII you MUST order this 3 tape set. Not only is this video historically and technically very accurate, but it is also captivating, almost like a story, rather than a documentary. In addition, it contains some of the best interviews with historians and people who actually lived through this struggle I've ever seen."

Usually ships within 2-3 days. Number of tapes: 3 -- $26.98

Das Boot - The Director's Cut   -- Collectors DVD

This is the restored, 209-minute director's cut of Wolfgang Petersen's harrowing and claustrophobic U-boat thriller, which was theatrically rereleased in 1997. Originally made as a six-hour miniseries, this version devotes more time to getting to know the crew before they and their stoic captain (Jürgen Prochnow) get aboard their U-boat and find themselves stranded at the bottom of the sea. Das Boot puts you inside that submerged vessel and explores the physical and emotional tensions of the situation with a vivid, terrifying realism that few movies can match.

Usually ships within 24 hours    $22.49
