Lothar-Gunther Buchheim – U-Boat [Das Boot] – First Edition 1974
£95.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘U-Boat’ published by Collins. A very good book (or better) without inscriptions. Some spotting to the page edges. In a very good clipped wrapper.
Originally ‘Das Boot’ by Lothar-Günther Buchheim, ‘U-Boat’ is a gripping World War II novel based on the author’s real experiences aboard a German submarine. It vividly portrays the claustrophobic tension, fear, and monotony faced by the crew as they endure relentless Allied attacks in the Atlantic. Through stark realism and moral reflection, Buchheim exposes the futility of war and the psychological toll on young sailors, creating a haunting, humanising depiction of life beneath the waves.
