[Young]immortalized his distinguished war service as a submariner in the bestselling autobiography, One of Our Submarines . . . [a] gripping memoir.The Guardian
In the very highest rank of books about the last war. Submarines are thrilling beasts, and Edward Young tells of four years adventures in them in a good stout book with excitement on every page. He writes beautifully, economically and with humor, and in the actions he commands he manages to put the reader at the voice-pipe and the periscope so that sometimes the tension is so great that one has to put the book down.The Sunday Times
No disrespect to the big screen, but you cant beat a book for digging out the details. And the details feel even better if the author is someone whos been there. So, at least take the time to read Das Boot, the autobiographical novel by Lothar-Gnther Buchheim. And, for the British perspective, read One of Our Submarines by Edward Young.The Mouldy Books
He tells his story in a modest, clear, and amusing way that is a delight to read.not too much

FOREWORD
by Admiral Sir George Creasy, K.C.B., C.B.E., D.S.O., M.V.O.
Commander-in-Chief, Home Fleet
I HAD the honour and happiness to command the Submarine Branch of the Royal Navy from September, 1944, to October, 1946.
In pre-1939 days our Submarine Branch was regarded as very much the preserve of the regular Royal Naval officer and rating. It was my distinguished predecessor, the late Admiral Sir Max Horton, G.C.B., D.S.O., who, foreseeing the inevitable expansion that would be required of the Branch, insisted on opening the entry to officers of the Royal Naval Reserve and the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. This policy was pursued by his successor and my immediate predecessor, the late Admiral Sir Claud Barry, K.B.E., C.B., D.S.O.
Thus when I inherited the command I found that more than half the officers of our submarines were from the R.N.R. and the R.N.V.R., the latter in the majority owing to their larger numbers. And of these a considerable number had risen to the command of submarines.
