Battle Surface!

Battle Surface! Book Description

To tell Parche's dramatic story, author Stephen Moore draws on recently discovered wartime diaries and interviews with dozens of the boat's crew, who add rich detail to the official record. Through them, Moore takes readers beneath the surface, exposing them to the horrors of torpedo and depth-charge attacks, as well as the stress of wartime patrols in the Pacific. The only book to focus exclusively on Parche and the incredible 'Red' Ramage, it offers a rare, up-close look at the war record of the legendary World War II submarine whose conning tower and periscopes are on permanent display at Pearl Harbor.
