Escape from the Deep

In October 1944, the U.S. Navy submarine Tang was struck by a faulty torpedo, leaving its crew trapped nearly 200 feet beneath the Pacific surface as they faced relentless Japanese attacks and a perilous escape. Only nine of the original eighty men survived the harrowing ordeal, which continued as they were captured by the Japanese and endured brutal interrogation. Alex Kershaw recounts this remarkable story of survival, resilience, and secrecy during World War II in a gripping narrative.
