Praise for Tom Clavin and Running Deep : "If the story of Germany''s U-boats was one mostly of failure, the U.S. Navy''s submarine force, the Silent Service, was much more. In "Running Deep" Tom Clavin argues that shortly after Pearl Harbor the U.S. submarine fleet was often the only offensive weapon available to strike Japanese shipping and other war assets." -- The Wall Street Journal "Clavin''s new work exemplifies outstanding literary quality, combining taut, evocative storytelling with rigorous research . Clavin''s authoritative yet empathetic voice ensures that this is not only an informative chronicle of wartime heroism but also a profound meditation on leadership, sacrifice, and the costs of war.
" -- Library Journal, starred review "A well-written, solid effort in which Clavin brings home the harsh reality of life onboard submarines and the horrors of war." -- Booklist "Bestseller Clavin offers a lively rendition of the storied career of the USS Tang and its captain, Richard Hetherington O''Kane . Clavin provides a bounty of backstory on submarine warfare, with side excursions into other famous subs and their fates. The result is an entertaining account of daring exploits in the deep." -- Publishers Weekly "The entire cowboy-outlaw era, which reached its climax in 1897 and ended around 1905, comes vividly alive in this kaleidoscopic work . countless other instances of robbing, stealing and retribution, are woven splendidly into this rousing saga of the closing years of the outlaw epoch of the American West." -- Wall Street Journal on Bandit Heaven "Buchenwald was the place no allied airman was supposed to wind up--but they did. In this priceless eyewitness history, one of WWII''s most incredible stories has finally found its teller.
Lightning Down is a riveting read that will leave you with a cold shiver." --Adam Makos, author of the NY Times bestseller A Higher Call "With a former newsman''s nose for the truth, Clavin has sifted the facts, myths, and lies to produce what might be as accurate an account as we will ever get of the old West''s most famous feud." -- Associated Press on Tombstone USS Tang and its captain, Richard Hetherington O''Kane .
