À propos de cet audio

 In 1991, acting on a tip from a local fisherman, two scuba divers discovered a sunken German U-boat–complete with its crew of 60 men–not too far off the New Jersey coast. The divers, realizing the momentousness of their discovery, began probing the mystery. Over the next six years, they became expert and well-traveled researchers, taught themselves German, hunted for clues in Germany, and constructed theories corrective of the history books, all in an effort to identify this sunken U-boat and its crew. During that time, three of their colleagues died exploring the wreck, including a father and son team. In 1997, when it all seemed in vain, the two divers came up with a final plan, so dangerous that the book ends with this last dive.©2004 Robert Kurson; (P)2004 Books on Tape Allemagne Europe Forces armées Guerres et conflits Militaire Ouvrages généraux U-Boat Guerre Sous-marin Sports

Ce que les critiques en disent

“An engrossing saga of the suspenseful, intriguing, and dangerous underwater investigation of a Mystery U-boat.”—Clive Cussler

“Robert Kurson’s Shadow Divers, about the divers exploring a sunken shipwreck off the New Jersey coast, is a gripping account of real-life adventurers and a real-life mystery. In addition to being compellingly readable on every page, the book offers a unique window on the deep, almost reckless nature of the human quest to know.”—Scott Turow, author of Reversible Errors

“A tremendously suspenseful story of discovery that comes as close as any book could to providing the reader with approximate sensations of deep sea diving and of life on a submarine at war, and that leaves us with a hell of an impression of the grit, guts, and compassion of a U-boat crew and the two American divers who risked everything to solve the mystery of their last mission.”—John McCain, author of Faith of My Fathers and Why Courage Matters

“Robert Kurson’s status as an undiscovered pleasure among Chicago readers is about to change, I suspect, in a hurry. Shadow Divers is so culturally astute and terrifyingly suspenseful that it should reach the sort of audience John Berendt, Susan Orlean, Jon Krakauer and Laura Hillenbrand have recently earned. Kurson’s new focus is the larger historical world--a world of U-Boats, forensics and lung-crushing pressure—and his prose is, as always, plain gorgeous.”—James McManus, author of Positively Fifth Street

“A winning tale exceedingly well told, Shadow Divers takes us on a dangerous and seemingly quixotic descent into the murk–and then, in a fog of nitrogen narcosis, brings us back to the surface with a richer, fuller fathoming of a history we only thought we knew.”—Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II’s Greatest Rescue Mission

As someone with no interest in diving I was hesitant to try this book, but did so based on the many great reviews. I was not disappointed. The risk that these divers deal with is immense. What they accomplished in identifying the U-boat is a great achievement and as is written here shows since of the fallibility of the written record.

Shadow Divers was fantastic. I couldn’t stop listening to it. You’ll keep listening waiting for a good spot to stop but the story is so gripping that you just want to find out more.

Fantastic real-life action/adventure full of twists and turns and wildly interesting characters. Sad that it's over.
