Submarine Commander by Paul R. Schratz

Picked this book up in a used bookstore in Malaysia . I mentioned it on my [Book blog].

Back Cover From World War II to Korea, he led his men through the war beneath the sea!

"GREAT!" - Admiral I. J. Galantin, USN (Ret.) author of Take Her Deep!

"The U.S. Navy's most innovative, non-conforming, daring skipper tells in intimate detail a gripping and exciting story - unashamed in sorrow, proud in record-setting accomplishment." - Admiral I. J. Galantin, USN (Ret.)

He began his career against German U-boats in the North Sea - then the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor. Recruited into the submarine service, Paul R. Shratz moved from training school to the firest of the Pacific, where he and the men of the USS Scorpion fought on the most dangerous front line of war.

Here is an authentic, blow-by-blow account of the battles in mine-seeded waters off the Japanese Coast and in the East China Sea, against enemy destroyers, submarines and planes - and sometimes with a Navy bureaucracy that did not always put the right men in charge. From the eeries sounds of a submarine riding out a depth charge attack on the sea bottom to a 20-mm gun duel, from the beauty of a South Pacific island to a visit to war-torn Japan, Captain Schratz takes you through the danger, bravery and life-and-death decisions of World War II's submarine war and beyond: to his secret Korean War mission as commander of a new, ultramodern class of submarine, the USS Pickeral.

"VIVID... ENGROSSING... Schratz is as adept at conveying the ties that bind the gallant brotherhood of submarines as he is at recounting the hell-and-high-water realities of surface as well as undersea engagements." - Kirkus Reviews

Book seems to be unavailable from Amazon.com, but you can try this link for more info about Submarine Commander by Paul R. Schratz....
