This is the fully revised and updated edition of the first comphrensive account of every peacetime submarine disaster from 1774 to the present day. By examining many of the sinkings in considerable detail, analysing what went wrong and describing the attempts made to rescue the crew and the vessel, Edwyn Gray traces the development of the submarine from the earliest experimental submersibles of the late 18th century, to the nuclear powered monsters of today. The appendices include the most comprehensive and accurate list of submarine disasters ever printed, in the compilation of which the author has had the cooperation of the US, French, Italian, Danish and Japanese Navies, as well as the RN Submarine Museum and the German U-Boat Archive.

<p><div>Few Survived is the first comprehensive account of every peacetime submarine disaster from 1774 to the present. Along the way, submarine expert Edwyn Gray evokes the peculiarly intense and terrifying experience of being a submariner with such chapters as "Give Us Air," "A Trifling Mistake," "Slow Torture as Well as Death," and "Deliver Us, O Lord." He also describes "Operation: Jennifer," a super secret agreement between Howard Hughes and the CIA to recover a sunken Soviet missile submarine. The author includes all the most recent submarine accidents and much new information made available from recently released Soviet archives. Packed with drama and intrigue from beginning to end, Few Survived is a fascinating account of life and death beneath the waves and an invaluable reference for naval-history enthusiasts. (6 x 9, 288 pages, illustrations) Edwyn Gray's writing career began in 1953. He published his first book in 1969 and went on to write such submarine classics as The Killing Time and A Damned Un-English Weapon, which were translated into Dutch, Italian, German, Danish, Swedish, and Japanese.<br /></div></p>
