Summary
Summary
In November 1943, while on war patrol in the Makassar Strait, the USS Billfish submarine was spotted by the Japanese, who launched a vicious depth charge attack. Explosions wracked the sub for fifteen straight hours. With his senior officers incapacitated, diving officer Charlie Rush boldly assumed command and led key members of the crew in a heroic effort to keep their ship intact as they tried to escape.Now, in War Beneath the Waves, this intense story is finally told in all its harrowing detail. It is an inspiring tale of one man's leadership and courage under fire, and of the remarkable efforts of a submarine crew to do their duty and save their ship.

“Narrator Stephen Hoye keeps himself from becoming subsumed in  the characters and remains  the storyteller…In capturing the terror of the  situation, Hoye credibly portrays how men under such pressure can find  themselves unable to think. Today we would recognize the condition as  traumatic stress disorder.”                                —AudioFile
                            
                                                        “Dealing equally with the hardware and the interpersonal dynamics of WWII  submarining, Keith will inform and please both the rank newcomer to the  subject and the well-read expert on it. Invaluable for the WWII  submarine annals.”                                —Booklist
