### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great read for any submariner
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024*

Bought this book for my husband, a retired Navy submariner of 20 years, both in diesel and nuclear subs. He couldn't put the book down, and read the entire volume in just 2 days, and loved it. Reminded him of some of his experiences and stories he heard first hand from sailors on a couple of boats mentioned. Accurate, informative, sometimes funny (at least to a sailor), it was a good read he thoroughly enjoyed cover to cover.

    A Rousing Sub Tale!
  

*by T***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013*

Eugene “Lucky” Fluckey’s “Thunder Below: The USS Barb Revolutionizes Submarine Warfare in World War II”  is the rousing, real-life tale of the last five combat patrols by the USS Barb in World War II.Unlike most similar books, this one reads like a novel and relies heavily on dialogue to tell the story.  Fluckey relied on the official log, reports, messages, letters, oral histories made during the war, and even an “illegal diary” that was kept by a crewman.  He also researched Japanese archives to find the Japanese reports for their perspective of some of the events.  Even though it was written over 40 years after the events depicted, one crewman who read the manuscript told Fluckey, “You must have had a tape recorder.” [pg. ix]This method helps bring life to some exciting and fascinating war patrols.  Fluckey was a “fighting captain” in the best tradition and worked long and hard to press his attacks.  The highlights of his patrols include a surfaced attack in shallow water on the Chinese coast against a Japanese convoy (for which he won the Medal of Honor), the first ever rocket attacks from a submarine, and a landing party that blew up a Japanese train (the only Americans to land on Japanese soil during WWII).If I had to criticize one aspect of the book, it’s the sterile, sanitized view of the war he gives.  Fluckey glosses over the real fear and terror they must have felt when depth-charged, and he never acknowledges the death and destruction he and his crew caused.This book is an incredible account of incredible actions, full of good maps and great anecdotes.  And the discerning reader can learn some strong leadership lessons from Fluckey.  The stories he tells read more like fiction than real-life accounts – it’s hard to believe they actually happened.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars
