Another informative work from Tom Clavin taking the reader into the murky world of WWII submarines and what these men had to face. Let us never forget!

Rom Clavin has given us another winner. This compelling story of the men and the wartime action involving the submarine sevice is both exciting and informative. Written in Mr. Clavin's usual wonderful style, I found this to be a terrific book and a worthy addition to the untold tales surroundng the second world war.

I am so excited I was granted an ARC for Mr. Clavin’s latest offering. I have read several of his books and this one is by far my favorite of them all. This author has a specific type of writing style, and he gives you information, he does not write a book as a normal 1st or 3rd character telling, he gives you all the information from his research on the subject he is writing about. And for this fare, it was the USS Tang submarine WWII and the history of submarine warfare. Oh, how I swallowed up everything he had to write. I loved this book.
When I read about the injustices done in the prisoner of war camps in Japan in WWII, it never ceases to infuriate me. And I am always so impressed with the determination our military prisoners used to stay alive. Captain O’Kane and his crew suffered tremendously, along with the other allied prisoners.
I also love a book that covers the “after” of how the characters continued on with life after the story. I feel that I learned so much, this one comes in with the highest 5 stars I can give. Thank you, Mr. Clavin.
This is my own opinion expressed in this review. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press.
