" Captivating story of the discovery of a sunken submarine and the search for the victims families. " Solid and interesting account of the USS TANG and its crew on its last two submarine patrols, the final one into the Formosa Strait, and the experience of nine survivor as POWs in Japan. I enjoyed it and thought it was good, but not quite as well done as hillenbrand's unbreakable. " A fascinating story about living through an impossible nightmare. " Men from the "greatest generation" doing what it takes. " A well written history of the sinking and survival of the crew of the USS Tang, this book has all the elements of a great sea story.
A very interesting story if you have the time. Amazing bravery, amazing endurance, amazing mental toughness. " Another amazing story of survival during WWII, about the nine guys who survived the sinking of the USS Tang, which went down courtesy of her own torpedo in 1944. " True story of only American submarine in WWII to sink and yield survivors. " I'm obviously not much of a non-fiction person, but my boyfriend gave me this book after he finished it and I ended up being utterly addicted to it! A great book for history fanatics and submarine afficianados alike. " Interesting as always to learn about the experiences of "the greatest generation" in World War II. I can't wait to read Kershaw's other works now. It opens quite a few doors to other topics/books that are within the book. This is a very well researched amazing story. " Wow! I haven't read a page-turning book about WWII in some time. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.
