Sean is joined by Author and Historian Roger Moorhouse to discuss his new book 'Wolfpack: Hitler's U-Boat War'.
Sniff up that fabled 'U-Boat Stink' and keep your hands off anyone else’s Tauchretter, and immerse yourself in the U-Boat War of 1939-1945, from the optimistic beginnings and the happy years, until the turkey shoot of the final years as Nazi Germany is beaten back on all fronts.
The book is out in the UK Now!
