A very compelling WWII Historical Narrative that at once combines the dates and facts with the stories of the cast and crew of three separate submarines fighting in the Pacific Theatre! I found myself rooting for the different Captains and not wanting the book to end! A MUST READ for any WWII Historian, especially if you're interested in the War of the Pacific Theatre and even more if you're inclined to the lesser told, though vastly interesting modes of war other that Surface, Air or Land Warfare!!! Wow!!!
