Dick O'Kane was not only one of the famous sub captains of the US Navy, he's also a great story teller. His book is not difficult to read when English is not your mothers tongue and very interesting.
Enjoy Yattky!

OK, I checked this book on Amazon Japan, and it costs JPY1,674.
http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/0891415734/qid=1108148645/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_8_1/250-0096100-4740228
I think it's a little bit expensive but it's worthy to read.
I know O'Kane, Abraham! :know: He was a great captain and sank 31 Japanese ships(228,000tons). But he was taken POW and was tortured in the prison(deeply sorry about that...). I watched the History Channel and I knew the fact.... |
