from Da Capo Press
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:

Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II
from Ballantine Books
Price: $7.50

Customer Review:

Even though most people seem to know the outcome. (I didn't) it was a great summer read. There is still some question as to how the sub got there but who cares? This book is not about the US Navy doing an archeology study, it's about a couple of guys who love to dive who get a hold of a story and go... more info

A must read to appreciate what this brave service did to lead the 'win' in the pacific theatre. Without the submarine service, no one could tell you of a happy outcome...

Customer Review:

If you want to give your students an inspiration to do more for others than for themselves, give them this book. Scott Hunter's work was important and I appreciate this author's choice to write the book for the left for dead navy soldiers.

from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:

This book was simply amazing. I don't need to describe it in detail. Lets just say there were scenes in the book where I cried. I have read hundreds of books on World War 2 and this by far is the deepest. I actually thought I was there with them feeling their thoughts and fearing their fears. This... more info

Japanese Destroyer Captain: Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Midway - The Great Naval Battles As Seen Through Japanese Eyes
from Naval Institute Press
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:

I was hesitant to buy this book at first; war stories from the Japanese captain's eyes? He is just gonna bad mouth the Americans and say a bunch of non-sense as to why the war wasn't Japan's fault I suspected.
But it turns out he is acutally pretty fair in his descriptions and most of his... more info

Price: $10.87

Customer Review:

I usually go for more escapist fare in my reading, but when I came across a description of the court-martial parts of this book, I decided it was time to tackle a neo-classic. I'm glad I did. This is a long and absorbing book that will harken your psyche back to World War II era America, and take... more info
