A *great* book I'm reading right now: "Shadow Divers."
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 11:42 AM by Lex
.
It's about some diver guys who in 1999 stumbled across a sunken German U-boat from WWII, just off the coast of New Jersey. No historical or military records existed about which German U-boat it was, so the guys ended up having to find out about it all themselves. A well-written account of a true-life mystery.

I ended up staying up until 4:30 am reading it last night--a real page-turner.

The full name of the book is:

Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II.

If you're looking for a good book to read right now, this is it!

4. It's a great book to give as a gift too.
I got mine as a Christmas present and just let it lay around for several weeks before picking it up.
