ON THE BACK COVER
THE WAR BELOW is the gripping story of the submarine force that helped win World War II in the Pacific by ravaging Japan's merchant fleet and effectively destroying the nation's economy.
Focusing on the unique stories of three of the war's top submarinesSilversides, Drum, and TangJames Scott takes readers deep beneath the waves to experience the determination, heroism, and tragedy that defined the submarine service (a submarine crewman was six times more likely to die than a sailor on board a surface ship). From the thrill of a torpedo hit on a loaded freighter to the terror of sailors trying desperately to escape from a flooded submarine trapped on the bottom, The War Below vividly recreates the camaraderie, exhilaration, fear, and bravery of the volunteers who took the fight to the enemy's coastline.
Based on more than 100 interviews with submarine veterans and thousands of pages of previously unpublished letters and diaries, The War Below allows readers to experience the battle for the Pacific as never before
