The
tragic loss of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk in 2000 highlighted
the dangers and perils submariners around the world face.
Lying
beneath the world’s oceans are the hulls of more than a century
of subs telling tales that have mapped history.
Lost
Subs chronicles the fate of famous naval subs, including the US
Confederate Army’s Hunley and Australia’s AE2.
The
book covers the final moments aboard the Kursk, the birth of the
submarine with the Turtle and the Hunley, the U-boats, the Cold
War and more. Lost Subs is filled with amazing underwater imagery
and allows the reader to explore these fascinating undersea tales.
The
book is easy reading with some powerful and gripping text, but it
is the photographs that will capture the imagination of many.
Lost
Subs is a highly recommended read.
