"Raiders of the Deep" - Lowell Thomas

hello all

As mentioned in an earlier thread I have managed to obtain a first edition of "Raiders of the Deep".

I have been making my way through this book.

what is the opinion regarding the historical accuracy of this book?

There is an incident described where a U boat disappeared without a trace for 6th months but then it turned up drifting, 6 months later, with all the crew dead inside; almost like a 'ghost ship'.
is this a true incident?

I dont have the book at hand to give the number of the u boat involved, but I am sure fellow readers now the story I tell of.

I am very curious to hear others opinions on this book

many thanks

Dave
