This is a true story about two divers, John Chatterton and Richie Kohler who
discovered a sunken German U-boat from World War II, lying undetected only 60 miles off the New Jersey shore, its unexploded torpedoes and the bodies of its crew still aboard. Chatterton and his dive partners undertook a dangerous quest to identify the missing U-boat, a pursuit that took six years and costs three lives. The U-boat's history involves unusual coincidences and a startling twist of fate.
I was fascinated by the story and literally could not put it down.
Favorite quote: But as each man drove home that night he wondered: What will that say about me if I quit. What will it mean if life tests me and I do not try to strike a blow?
