This book was a used book for a very attractive price. I could not tell it from a brand new book when I unwrapped it. It is a great true story of one of the many submarine exceptionals from the Pacific theater of WWII. Thanks amazon.

This review is from: Slade Cutter: Submarine Warrior (Hardcover)

Every so often in life you meet someone where you least expect it. I first 'met' Slade Cutter in the obituaries. His obituary. Mentioned along with a myriad of other details about his fascinating life and career was this book. I knew I had to find out more. Well researched and deftly written by author Carl Lavo, Slade Cutter: Submarine Warrior fulfills the necessary requirements of a biography, but reaches further to open a window onto a little known (to the general population) hero of World War II.

"SLADE CUTTER"..just hearing the man sounds like something an author woudl dream up....Not in this case he was a real Submarine Commander during WW2 and one of the best!!! His name brings it all to bear in this auto-bio.

It is a great book about the man and the submarine service during World War 2 it is worth the price and one of the great books you'll every read.
