The War Below: The Story of Three Submarines That Battled Japan

The War Below is a gripping and historically accurate account of the heroic US submarine force that played a crucial role in winning World War II in the Pacific.

With vivid storytelling and meticulous research, author James Scott brings to life the bravery, camaraderie, and sacrifice of the submariners who fought against overwhelming odds.

The book focuses on three of the war's top submarines - Silversides, Drum, and Tang - and their incredible stories of courage and tragedy.

From emergency surgeries performed with kitchen utensils to desperate struggles for survival in flooded submarines, The War Below recounts the unforgettable experiences of these brave men who risked everything to defeat the enemy.

With a casualty rate that topped all other military branches, the submariners accomplished their mission at great cost, sinking sixty-two freighters, tankers, and transports and disrupting the Japanese war effort.

But their sacrifice was not forgotten - the Japanese retaliated by beating, torturing, and starving captured submariners in atrocious prisoner of war camps.

The War Below is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, World War II, or the unbreakable spirit of those who fought to defend their country.
