Run Silent, Run Deepby Edward L. Beach Even after 48 years, Edward L. Beach's novel of submarine warfare remains the book against which all others are measured. This Naval Institute Press edition includes an introduction by Edward P. Stafford. Bacalaoby J.T. McDaniel Hardcover The exciting new submarine novel, one of the most technically accurate ever written, follows the U.S.S. Bacalao and her crew from the Electric Boat Company yard in 1940, to Pearl Harbor, and on through the exciting and deadly days of World War II. Bacalao seems destined to become a modern classic. by J.T. McDaniel Microsoft Reader eBook | Adobe eBook This popular novel is set aboard an experimental U-boat in the final months of World War II. Despite the technical superiority of their boat and weapons, the characters are under no illusions as to the outcome of the war, carrying on the fight more from a sense of duty than any hope of changing things. The story also features a personal fight of sorts, between the U-boat's captain and a British officer who was once his prisoner and has now been given the job of hunting him down. U-859by Arthur Baudzus Adobe eBook The real U-859 departed Kiel on April 1, 1944, bound on a 20,000 mile voyage around Africa and up through the Indian Ocean to Japanese-held Penang. The author of this novel, Arthur Baudzus, was a member of U-859's crew, and one of only 20 men who survived by swimming up to the surface after U-859 was torpedoed and sunk by a British submarine less than an hour from her destination after six months at sea. Baudzus was an electrician, and much of the story is consequently told from the viewpoint of the lower deck.
