On the eve of World War II, the Squalus, America’s prized submarine, plunged to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Thirty-three members survived, largely because of the efforts of U.S. Navy officer Charles Swede Momsen. In this thrilling true account, Maas vividly recreates the adventure, which will be aired as an NBC-TV movie in April 2001.
