Book excerpt: Torpedoes Away! details US Navy submarine operations during the first 18 months of World War Two. Author Maxwell Hawkins breathlessly covers the tense, dangerous missions of submarines USS Trout, Sea Raven, Pollack, Skipjack, Cuttlefish, and others. Between these first-hand reports stitched-together from interviews with crewmen, Hawkins describes the mechanical workings of submarines, as well as the history of submersibles beginning in the 17th Century. He spent over a year sifting through the archives of the Navy Department and conducted extensive interviews with many veteran submariners about their experiences in the Pacific during World War Two. The result is a classic study of underwater warfare, a must read for military historians and World War 2 buffs.

Book excerpt: This novel for older children and teenagers highlights the panic the British nation felt in spring 1940, when Hitler's army poised for invasion only a few miles away in Calais, the RAF is stretched to the limit, and cities are bombed and burned to the ground. As the plight of children evacuated from Germany is at stake, and desperate refugees are fleeing tyranny, read of the hope and adventure of two teenage boys, one a displaced American and the other a happy-go-lucky Yorkshire lad. Based on true stories and personal accounts, this research project supported by Arts Council England finally tells the story of one of Britain's wartime secrets. When top U.S. scientist Carl Becker moves his family to Britain in May 1940 to work on the new RADAR system, all their lives change forever. While Carl is visiting the Ministry of War, police call at his mother's house to arrest her, his wife, his ten-year-old daughter, and twelve-year-old son, Jacob, sending them to camps on the Isle of Man. All because Carl's mum was born in Germany. As Carl struggles to find them, Jacob is split from the family because he looks older. Jacob is transported with a Yorkshire boy, whose father is German, to a brutal men's internment camp on the island, where Jacob's War starts. Jacob is imprisoned with violent Nazi supporters, witnesses terrible things, and is shipped to Canada on a vessel that is torpedoed. He is shipwrecked and rescued by the U.S. Navy. While the British seem unconcerned, in America, his story goes all the way to President Roosevelt!

In the darkest hours of the Dominion War, as the Federation’s downfall seemed ever more certain, Jem’Hadar and Cardassian forces conquered Betazed, the homeworld of Deanna Troi. Their victory sent shock waves through the Alpha Quadrant, and put the Dominion within striking distance of Vulcan, Andor, Tellar, and possibly Earth itself. To secure their position in the very heart of the Federation, the Cardassians begin constructing space station Sentok Nor in orbit of Betazed. The station is to serve as both the seat of the Dominion occupation and the site of horrific experiments by Cardassia’s foremost exobiologist, the infamous Dr. Crell Moset. With Starfleet’s forces spread too thickly in the ongoing struggle to retake Betazed outright, the USS Enterprise along with some old and new friends, is deployed to carry out a dangerous and desperate plan. But no matter what the outcome, the consequences could alter Betazed irrevocably, forcing Deanna Troi to choose between her world’s survival and its very soul.

Book excerpt: It was in 1943. On the Black Sea, the Russians were fighting a desperate battle to regain control. But the Russians' one real weakness was on the water: whatever they did, the Germans did it better, and the daring hit-and-run tactics of the E-boats plagued them. At last the British agreed to send them a small flotilla of motor torpedo boats under the command of John Devane. More than a veteran, he was a survivor - and the two rarely went together in the savage war of MTBs. Devane soon learned that, even against the vast and raging background of the Eastern Front, war could still be a personal duel between individuals. ______________________________ A classic tale of naval warfare from Douglas Reeman, the all-time bestselling master of naval fiction, who served with the Royal Navy on convoy duty in the Atlantic, the Arctic and the North Sea. He has written dozens of naval books under his own name and the pseudonym Alexander Kent, including the famous Richard Bolitho books set during the Napoleonic Wars.
Book Synopsis A Tale of Two Subs by : Jonathan J. McCullough
Download or read book A Tale of Two Subs written by Jonathan J. McCullough and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2008-05-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the shocking and fascinating true story of one of the most dramatic naval events in World War II history. On November 19, 1943, the submarine USS Sculpin, under attack by the Japanese, slid below the waves for the last time in what would become one of the most remarkable stories in U.S. Naval history. Not only did several crewmembers survive the sinking - an extremely rare event in World War II submarine warfare - but several were aboard a Japanese aircraft carrier enroute to a POW camp when it was in turn torpedoed and sunk by the Sculpin's sister ship, the USS Sailfish. At the end of World War II, several unlikely survivors would tell a tale of endurance against these amazing reversals of fortune. For one officer in particular, who knew that being captured could have meant losing the war for the allies, his struggle was not in surviving, but in sealing his own fate in a heartbreaking act of heroism which culminated in the nation's highest tribute, the Medal of Honor. Sculpin Lt. Commander John Phillip Cromwell was one of the few who knew that American Naval Intelligence had succeeded in cracking Japan's top-secret codes. Cromwell also knew that if the Japanese confirmed this by torturing him, it would force Naval Intelligence to change their encryption, which would potentially change the course of the war. This is Cromwell's story as well. The incredible interconnection of the Sculpin and the Sailfish has been thoroughly researched by Jonathan McCullough. Through access to the few living survivors, scores of oral histories, never-before translated Japanese war documents, and interviews with Navy veterans, McCullough delivers a gripping and, intimate account for the reader.
