Framsida
Harper Collins, 8 aug. 2000 - 320 sidor
On the eve of World War II, the "Squalus", America's newest submarine then, plunged to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Thirty-three members survived, largely because of the efforts of U.S. Navy officer Charles "Swede" Momsen. In this thrilling true account, Maas vividly recreates a moment-by-moment account of the disaster and Momsen's heroic actions.
