Review Quotes

"Bill Ruhe and I were both caught in the early crucible of World War II, both of us in submarines. Here is how it felt. I endorse every word."

A unique book . . . May easily become a military classic.

Reality and intensity are the chief watchwords of this unique and highly personal memoir.

The human side of submarine warfare . . . Exciting reading.
