Great Colledtion

The history of the sea is filled with the stories of disasters. And that's about ships that are intended to stay on the surface. Submarines are intended to sink, and hopefully come back up. This book is a collection of stories about submarines. Some of the stories are fiction, like an excerpt from 'Run Silent, Run Deep.' Some are true. Some are educated guesswork, like what was the real reason for the loss of the 'Thresher.' The stories include: Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson The Hunt for Red October (Excerpt) by Tom Clancy The Boat by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim Run Silent, Run Deep by Cap. Edward L. Beach Nautilus 90 North by Commander William R. Anderson 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne Torpedo Junction by Homer H. Hickam The Death of the USS Thresher by Norman Polmar Silent Running by James F. Calvert Due to Enemy Action by Stephen Puleo A Time to Die by Robert Moore The Enemy Below by D. A. Rayner Raising the Hunley by Brian Hicks and Schuyler Kropf The Terrible Hours by Peter Maas.
