Description: Run Silent, Run Deep by Edward L. Beach Jr. Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The classic submarine novel of World War II. Publisher Description Universally praised for its powerfully authentic depiction of submarine warfare, Run Silent, Run Deep was an immediate success when published in 1955 and shot to the top of best-seller lists. The New York Times said of it, "If ever a book had a ring of reality, this is it...combat passages rank with the most exciting written about any branch of the service." The Saturday Review called the book "a classic," and many reviewers compared its author to such greats as C.S. Forester and Erich Remarque. Today these accolades still ring true for Edward L. Beachs gripping first novel of American submariners confronting a formidable Japanese navy in a vicious battle to control the Pacific. Beachs taut and dramatic narrative, told with the intimacy of a confession, deals with two strong-headed men, Edward Richardson, the commander of the USS Walrus, and his executive officer, Jim Bledsoe, bound together by wartime duty, divided by jealousy, pride, and love for a beautiful woman. But long after the details of this famous novel fade from memory, what remains with us is a startling realization of the way it was, really was, in the silent service during World War II. Author Biography Edward Latimer Beach, Jr. (1918 -2002) was a highly-decorated United States Navy submarine officer and best-selling author. During World War II, he participated in the Battle of Midway and 12 combat patrols, earning 10 decorations for gallantry, including the Navy Cross. After the war, he served as the naval aide to the President of the United States and commanded the first submerged circumnavigation. Beachs best-selling novel, Run Silent, Run Deep, was made into the 1958 movie by the same name. Details ISBN 0870215574 ISBN-13 9780870215575 Title Run Silent, Run Deep Author Edward L.
