A GERMAN U-BOAT REACHES AMERICAN WATERS AFTER AN AGONISING THREE MONTHS AND FOUNDERS THERE. BLASTED APART BY UNKNOWN CAUSES. FIFTY YEARS LATER, TWO DEEP- SEA WRECK DIVERS HAVE A TIP-OFF ABOUT A SITE OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST.
SHADOW DIVERS is the extraordinary story of the six-year quest for Hitler's lost sub. In the attempt to identify the sunken U-boat and its crew, the team teach themselves military German, befriend U-boat aces, turn back fanatics and conspiracy theorists, and piece together an incredible story. In between, they make some of the most daring and dangerous scuba dives ever attempted. Deep water wreck diving is the world's deadliest sport, and John Chatterton and Richie Kohler pushed its limits to the final breath. --back cover
