Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House. May 2005. Trade Paperback. First Paperback Edition (stated) / full number line. Fine. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Covers clean and bright. Slight edgewear. xiv + 390 pages including reader's guide. 24 pages of plates.
A true tale of riveting adventure in which two weekend scuba divers risk everything to solve a great historical mystery--and make history themselves. In the fall of 1991, two divers found a wrecked submarine 230 feet below the surface in the frigid Atlantic waters sixty miles off the coast of New Jersey. No identifying marks were visible on the submarine or the few artifacts brought to the surface. No historian, expert, or government had a clue as to which U-boat the men had found. In fact, the official records all agreed that there simply could not be a sunken U-boat and crew at that location. Over the next six years, an elite team of divers embarked on a quest to solve the mystery. Robert Kurson's account of this quest is at once thrilling and emotionally complex, and it is written with a vivid sense of what divers actually experience when they meet the dangers of the ocean's underworld.
