Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson |
|
Neat book about two New Jersey Divers hunting for the identity of a sunken U-Boat off the Jersey Coast. Good character development, exciting dive sequences and a look back at the crew of the German Sub. And lots of pictures. Combination adventure yarn, history story and borderline soap opera. Its worth a look.

1. A nice companion book: "Operation Drumbeat" by Michael Gannon. |
|
Doesn't make the US military command look too good, but very interesting reading.

Often the U. S. Military command does not look good all on its own.

4. I listened to it on audiobook. It was most entertaining. |
|
It was a mystery (why the sub was there and which one was it) and I love mysteries.
