Fatal Dive: Solving the World War II Mystery of the USS Grunion Hardcover - 2012
by Peter F. Stevens
No radio distress call ever crackled from the USS "Grunion" submarine--in 1942, under the fog of World War II, she simply vanished without a trace. In his new book, Stevens finally lays to rest one of the war's greatest mysteries.
From the rear cover
Peter Stevens unreels a fascinating piece of nautical history. This real-life drama of war, suspense, and human achievement in the face of frightful odds is mesmerizing from start to finish. A book for all.
LIEUTENANT GENERAL DAVE PALMER (RETIRED),
author of George Washington and Benedict Arnold and George Washington s Military Genius
A thriller that plows forward with the unrelenting intensity of a World War II submarine hunting down an enemy cruiser, but this tale is powered by the devotion of three faithful sons desperately searching for their father, Lieutenant Commander Jim Abeleand to solve the fate of his crew, the men of the USS Grunion. A masterful mystery that is truly a love story disguised as a war story.
MICHAEL KEANE, author of Patton: Blood, Guts, and Prayer
