Van de Hunley tot de Koersk

Dunmore
Inleiding van dr Robert D. Ballard
Van het spookachtige wrak van de onderzeeboot Hunley uit de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog tot het graf van de Koersk in de Barentsz Zee: dit is het adembenemende verhaal van leven en dood dat zich gedurende meer dan honderd jaar heeft afgespeeld onder de waterspiegel van de wereldzeeën.
In dit rijk geïllustreerde boek worden voor het eerst de aangrijpende verhalen van verdwenen onderzeeboten gekoppeld aan spectaculaire onderwateropnames.

From the Hunley to the Kursk, this text presents a full-colour exploration of the greatest submarines ever lost - and found. As millions have come to know from such popular books and movies as "The Hunt for Red October" and "U-571", the world of submarines is secretive and dangerous. On the ocean floor lie over a century and a half of subs, lost both in war and in peace. Now, the individual stories of these sunken ships are woven together to create a history of underwater warfare and exploration - and the price that hundreds of subs and thousands of sailors have paid. In comprehensive text and powerful images (including state-of-the-art contemporary underwater photographs), "Lost Submarines" chronicles the fate of some of the most famous subs in naval history - from the sinking of the Confederate Army's sub Hunley to the more recent loss of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk. With a wealth of archival material, modern and period photographs, and paintings by renowned Titanic artist Ken Marschall, this definitive illustrated history brings to life the museum of submarines resting in their underwater graves and the submariners on "eternal patrol".
