Kenneth R. Sewell. On February 9, 1945, the German U-boat 864 sank in the North Sea off the western coast of Norway. The undersea battle of U-864 and the British Navyas HMS Venturer is the only recorded instance of one submarine stalking and sinking another while both were submerged. With suspense surfacing amid the military intrigue, this latest by Preisler and former submariner Sewell reads like a tense thriller, but the authors also keep a steady course on the human aspect of their tale as they reconstruct the events behind this little-known WWII incident and its aftermath.--Publishers WeeklyFriday, September 7, 2012
