Now it all hinged on getting the sponsor of the athletic-wear company. Kenneth Maxwell, Jr., had begun on the ...

Naval Institute Press
, 1998
Very well told and accurate
Subs Under Ice is well told and very accurate. Don't expect a "Clancy" type of book, however. The author is a retired military and writes in a succinct military fashion. The story of the skill and bravery of these men is long overdue in telling. My uncle served under John Nicholson aboard Sargo on its journey to the pole so I have been especially eager to read about this chapter of ...
