The book is a very well written account of those first voyages below the icecap at a time when sonar sensors were not as capable as they are today and a submarine slowly manoeuvring amongst the ice was in constant danger of being damaged or destroyed. If anything had gone wrong during those missions, the first sign to the rest of the world would only have come days later when nothing more was heard from the boat.
The bravery shown by the USS Nautilus’s crew is almost beyond description, and thankfully, Captain Anderson has shared this adventure with us. I know most historians will recognize his name, and this title, but anyone who is not familiar with them, would do well to pick up this book. It is clearly written so anyone can understand what is taking place during this early visit to a very inhospitable region. ( )
