2.Escape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous CrewEscape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew
from Da Capo Press
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
This is not a book made great by the writing. Rather, this book is great because the author didn't get in the way of this epic story. No US submarine sunk more enemy tonnage than the Tang and whether any US sub sunk as many enemy ships is debatable. Dick O'Kane, the Tang's skipper, literally jumps... more info

Customer Review:
Let me start off by saying that this book does not bypass taking the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) riding class in anyway for a budding motorcycle rider.

A truly terrifying and detailed eyewitness account of Magellan's voyage westward around the world by sea.

I picked up "Leviathan" on a whim during a visit to the North Carolina shore. I'm glad I did -- I could hardly believe how good it turned out to be.
