"Following the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, the US entered World War II in December 1941 weakened and outnumbered. With the Pacific battleship fleet decimated by the Pearl Harbor attack, it was up to the feisty and heroic sailors aboard the US Submarine Force to halt the sweeping Japanese invasion across the Pacific. Often brash, always brave, and ever at the ready to surge into the unknown, the submariners of the “silent service” were the frontline warriors on a liquid battlefield. Sibert Honor author Deborah Hopkinson has drawn upon first-person accounts, archival materials, official US Navy documents, and photographs from the war to weave together the voices and exploits of the extraordinary men who fought World War II from beneath the seas and to bring their stories to bold life." --
