Synopsis

  • Soviet version of the classic German U-boat story Das Boot
  • Graphic and humane record of service on a submarine
    Submarines were uninviting enough, with dank, claustrophobic conditions and little hope of escape if disaster struck, and the relatively shallow waters of the Baltic only compounded the dangers. That's where Soviet submariner Viktor Korzh served, hunting and sinking German shipping. His memoir unfolds as a heart-pounding series of nonstop action, sonar pings, depth-charge concussions, and constant underwater peril. Somehow Korzh and his comrades survived their frightful ordeal and witnessed the victory over the Germans.
