Review of 'Thunder Below!' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Probably the best WWII book that I have read. It reads like an adventure novel whilst keeping the charm of story that the author experienced and was bursting to tell. I could definitely read this again. I listened the audio book which was fantastic, the reader really brought the story to life.

The sub’s story was added to by accounts gathered from Japanese navel reports of many of the encounters which clearly did not know what had hit them.

Probably the definitive book on WWII US submarine warfare. If you know of another, I want to read it.
