“SILENT VICTORY” The U.S. Submarine War Against Japan. By Clay Blair, Jr. Here in a single book is the decisive word on American’s submarine activity in World War II. Blair cuts to the core to tell the full and compete story––holding back nothing. From before the war got underway until the last torpedo was fired in 1945––no submarine library should be without this outstanding book! Silent Victory takes you into the submarine war on all levels, the highest strategy sessions in Washington, the terrifying moments aboard a submarine trapped on the bottom as Japanese depth charges explode around it. Jealous infighting of admirals vying for power, overcautious skippers, the shocking torpedo scandal and the toll it took. The complete saga that led to victory is here––a work of great scholarship and scope, a timeless contribution to the history of WWII. 1975 first edition Hardback (not a Book Club) with dust jacket––printed on a much better quality paper than the BC edition. 1,072 pages, a whopping 92 black and white photos, 37 maps and an extensive 104 page appendix with index. All packed into one single book, nearly 2 1/2 inches thick! Dust jacket is wrapped in clear protective plastic.
