any good books ?

Hey guys I'm looking for a new book to read whats some of the best sub books I should look for ?

[TLAM Strike]

Non Fiction:
The Submarine by Thomas Parrish
Blind Man's Bluff by Sontag and Drew
October Fury and Hostile Waters by Huchthausen

Fiction:
Anything by Michael DiMercurio or H. J. Riker
Typhoon by Robin White (I've also heard the novel Typhoon by Mark Joesph is also good)
Dangrous Ground by Larry Bond (I also recommend Red Phoenix even though the submarine stuff is only a minor part. This book is basically Red Storm Rising in Korea.)
I remember I had a good time reading Final Run by David Meadows

[Marcantilan]

I am reading right now "Azorian", by Norman Polmar and Michael White. Really a fascinating book about K-129, USS Halibut and the the salvage of the former by the CIA.

Also, I agree with TLAM Strike recommendations on non-fiction books.

Regards!

That is kinda like asking what is the best movie. It depends on what you are interested in.

Fiction?
Non-fiction?
More technical?
More reference?
What time frame? WWI, WWI, Cold war, Current?

Am sure that among the members here we have read pretty much every submarine book ever written.

If you give us your interest, we can better recommend books.

Yes.

I'll add to your list: Pacific or Atlantic?

Its been a while since I read it as well. I remember it did a good job of covering all the bases like RSR did, it dealt with the air campaign, the naval actions, and both the conventional and unconventional ground campaign. The book felt a lot like a wargame set to a narrative.

I just remember the tunnels at the beginning of the story.

Did you ever read "Red Army" by Ralph Peters?

Can't say that I have. But I did read Red Thrust by Steven J. Zaloga. It was almost two books in one, it had a fictional narrative (copied much from RSR) with a real life analysis of the Soviets.
