ABOUT
In 1920, one of the American Navy's new-but-untested submarines, the S-Five, was stranded 180 feet beneath the Atlantic.
Her electrical system, radio and one of her drive motors were rendered inoperable. She had only forty hours of oxygen left-and her batteries were giving off an asphyxiating cloud of chlorine gas.
How the S-Five's indomitable captain and brave crew worked in near-darkness to save themselves with nothing but hand tools made naval history. An amazing tale of courage, endurance and incredible resourcefulness, "Under Pressure" is that most remarkable of books-a true story more dramatic than fiction.
Illustrated with monochrome images.
