Download Silent Running: My Years on a World War II Attack Submarine AudioBook Free
Within this riveting personal account, an real American hero relives the perils and triumphs of eight harrowing patrols aboard one of America's most successful World War II submarines. Courageous deeds and terror-filled moments as well as the endless maintenance work are vividly recalled in Calvert's candid portrait. But Silent Running is more than a masterful collection of war stories. The greatest drama takes place within Jim Calvert himself, as his values, his training, and his courage are put to the test daily, both at sea and ashore. He must come to conditions with a forbidden love, overcome fear and self-doubt, manage the increased loss of comrades, and face the regular reality that each and every day at sea might be his last.
