Descriere magazin:
In Autumn 1943 the Battle of the Atlantic, World War II\'s longest seagoing campaign, reached a new crescendo. Anti-submarine aircraft and ships using new tactics, technologies, and weaponry dominated a seascape where German U-boats once ruled supreme. But then unexpectedly, in eerie, mid-ocean darkness, an elemental hull-to-deck, sailor-to-submariner duel erupted. On Halloween Eve, U.S. Navy destroyer Borie , an outmoded, thin-skinned tin can of World War I vintage, set out alone to track down an elusive U-boat. Borie had thus far toiled in the war\'s backwaters, her crew of young reservists anxious to prove its mettle. When Borie trapped U-405 on the surface, that chance arrived. As Borie\'s deck guns unleashed withering fire and U-405\'s skipper angled his submarine to launch torpedoes, Borie\'s young skipper--a salesman in civilian life--resorted to the original (and once the only) means of sinking a submarine: ramming, full speed ahead, consequences be damned. Borie\'s slashing collision with U-405 ignited a swashbuckling, no-holds-barred brawl of cannons, machine guns, small arms, and even knives and spent shell casings. In the wreckage-strewn aftermath, desperate sailors on both sides fought for survival in a heaving, frigid, unforgiving sea. Duel in the Deep weaves together high-stakes strategy and lethal gamesmanship with poignant human backstories, pounding air/surface/subsurface action, epic heroism, and wrenching sacrifice. A former U.S. Navy officer and tin can veteran--now a seasoned, widely published and highly acclaimed military historian--portrays a rousing high-seas showdown reminiscent of fighting in the age of sail.
