Critical Convoy Battles of WWII - Crisis in the North Atlantic, March 1943, Jurgen Rohwer.
Focuses on the successful U-boat attacks on convoys HX.229 and
SC.122, looking at how earlier convoys were able to avoid attack, why

both sides, and their impact on the longer term result of the Battle of
the Atlantic. A useful study, despite its age (first published in
1977), in particular because of its focus on the successful German
attacks of March 1943, which thus get the attention they deserve rather
than being seen as a precursor to the Allied victories later in the
summer.
