Requirements: ePUB reader, 1.3mb
Overview: The six stories in this collection have come to be considered pop naval classics. First published separately in the Saturday Evening Post on the eve of America’s entry into World War II, they enjoyed immediate success, enthralling readers with their gripping accounts of action on and below the seas.
Part of the appeal was their innovativeness. Never before had war stories provided such accurate technical descriptions of combat on board warships. Forerunners of today’s high-tech thrillers, the stories explained the naval weapons and machinery and satisfied the public s hunger for details about modern naval warfare. These technical descriptions became Alec Hudson’s trademark. His stories have a strong human element as well, reaffirming the importance of the individual in an increasingly mechanized world. Five of the stories focus on early Allied submarine operations, the other is set on a U.S. destroyer.
