Klappentext
"In autumn 1943, the Battle of the Atlantic reaches a new crescendo. Aircraft and new weaponry dominate a seascape where German U-boats once ruled. And unexpectedly, in eerie Halloween darkness, an elemental hull-to-deck, sailor-to-submariner duel erupts. Outmoded U. S. Navy destroyer Borie, setting out alone on Halloween 1943, traps a U-boat on the surface. On impulse, Borie's young, untested skipper resorts to the original, and for a time the only, means of sinking a submarine: ramming, full speed ahead. Borie's collision with U405 ignites a swashbuckling brawl of cannons, machine guns, small arms, even knives and spent shell casings. In the wreckage of the aftermath desperate sailors on both sides fight for survival in a heaving, frigid, unforgiving sea. Duel in the Deep weaves high-stakes strategy and lethal gamesmanship with poignant human backstories, pounding air / surface / subsurface action, and wrenching sacrifice"--![David L Sears: Duel in the Deep, Buch](https://lesen.de/image/w468/front/0/9781682475607.jpg)
