Shadow Divers The True Adventure of Two Americans Who RIsked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II
>> Compelling narrative and a gripping story
I have never been a fan of WWII history let alone naval history Nor am I a diving enthusiast But the story and struggle of discovering and identifying a German submarine only 100 miles off the New Jersey coast was fascinating I could have done with a bit less biographical information on some of the people involved did I really have to know all about their childhoods but the twists turns and dead ends make up for it
>> Excellent Read
This book hooked me from the outset It s the kind of book where when not
reading it you look forward to getting back to it then thoroughly enjoy
the experience when you do Very well drawn characters Fascinating story
>> More compelling than fiction
This book was recommended by a friend who is a recreational diver This is so much more than a book about deep diving It is an amazing story of two men bigger than life to me who have an insatiable curiosity and bulldog determination They are not thrill seekers but truth seekers The author has given us background on the two main divers and their character which makes them so real/personal that you almost stop breathing with them The book is part biography part adventure part history part mystery with graphic descriptions of the dangers of deep diving I could not put it down even when it ended I kept reading through the acknowledgements then Googled John Chatterton and Richie Koehler and found they each have websites This is the most compelling read ever
