Sillent Killers traces the history of the most deadly hunter in the ocean. For hundreds of years the submarine has stalked prey ranging from the ironclads of the American Civil War through to the vulnerable Atlantic Convoys, which were torn to shreds by packs of U-boats during World War II, and to this day nuclear-powered subs prowl the depths. Renowned diver and underwater explorer James Delgado explores the evolution of submarines in incredible detail, drawing on his extensive experience of wreck exploration to provide and expert explanation and analysis of these lethal machines, and the men who have operated them.
