U.S. Submarines in World War II: An Illustrated History of the Pacific

Larry Kimmet and Margaret Regis have produced an outstanding compliation of facts, figures and harrowing stories which serve to underline the incredible heroism of our WWII submariners. 25% of the men and boys who shipped out on sub patrols never came back. Told in an engaging and well presented fashion, no library without this book can consider itself complete on the subject. Highly recomended. You'll finish it in one sitting, but refer to it again & again.
