| Notes: | This is the best example of WWII undersea adventure ever written. It takes the reader into the minds, souls and fears of the crew of a submarine at war. You will come to understand the function of a submarine and the perils and terrors of warfare. Predating the Tom Clancy novels and later offerings in this genre, Beach fills each page with excitement, humanity and the apprehension of battle only a warrior can depict accurately. Beach wrote two sequels to this book titled Dust on the Sea and Cold Is the Sea. |
