I found this a great read: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1591145244/

So much so I'm seriously considering reading the full version.

The biggest revelation was just how close the shipping battle was circa-1942. Without timely technical and tactical advances, it's likely Britain would have been choked off and had to reach some kind of peace agreement. The civilian supply situation was literally within months of being that dire.
