Story of a U.S. submarine commander's exploits during WWII. Written with authority and knowledge by Edward L. Beach who served in the "boats" throughout the war. Cdr. Beach conveys the thrill of the hunt for Japan's merchant marine and the drama of personal conflicts as well as the excitement of combat under the sea. A very good read.
