One of many reviews on Amazon on the predecessor, Sub Tales “ Stories That Seldom Surface:
œSub
Tales is another truly fantastic book by the authors of Poopie Suits
and Cowboy Boots. As I read story after story from submariners that
exhibited grace and level headedness under pressure, I couldn't help but
be impressed with those that volunteer their time, often thanklessly,
so that the rest of us can rest securely under the blanket of freedom
they help provide. This book is a paean to these warriors. We will never
be able to fully appreciate the depth of sacrifice these individuals
made because the very nature of their service precludes us from knowing
the full measure of it. Sub Tales is deftly woven, engaging, and very
much a page turner. I highly recommend it to anyone that is interested
in the exploits of the extraordinary volunteers to the "Silent Service".
All
four titles contain riveting accounts of the triumphs and tribulations
of the US Submarine Force. Each book features plenty of vintage
photographs and personal recollections from the men who served. More Sub
Tales joins the series with 36 new stories about the Silent Service,
spanning more than a century of history from the experimental submarines
conceived by Simon Lake in the late nineteenth century to the
christening of the USS Hawaii (SSN-776) in 2006. Together these stories
weave a compelling and instructive narrative of American submarines and
the men who rode them.
Richly illustrated with more than 350
photographs, More Sub Tales will entertain and inform the reader about
key moments and milestones in the evolution of submarines. Learn about
the many ordeals, sacrifices, and brave acts that represent the proud
legacy of this underappreciated segment of our Armed Forces.
Each
story has been carefully vetted by more than two dozen veteran
submariners for accuracy, and in most chapters, additional authenticity
has been gained by interviewing actual participants. The book has been
written with clear language, and explanations where relevant, to appeal
to a wide-ranging audience.
More than a year in the making, and
involving hundreds of interviews and thousands of correspondences, this
richly researched volume takes its rightful place in the expanding
Poopie Suits series. Simply put, these books chronicle what makes the US
Submarine Force one of the world's elite military groups.
About Poopie Suits Series of True Submarine Stories:
The
Poopie Suits series of books was created by 2 brothers, Frank and
Charles Hood, who started by detailing the submarine service of Frank
during the late 60's to early 70's. The first book, Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots,
takes the reader on the journey of a young man who volunteers for
submarine service and includes historical and cultural touchpoints of
the era, including the Vietnam War, political unrest and assassinations,
the nascent space program, and more. Richly detailed by co-author
Charles Hood and written in a language that anyone can understand, it
focuses on true stories of daily life on a submarine.
