Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. xviii, 366, [2] p. Illustration. Map. Glossary. Sources. Index. Given the Rasher's extraordinary war record it is surprising that fifty years passed before a book was written about her experiences in the Pacific. The Rasher sank 18 enemy ships and destroyed 99, 901 tons-the seco…nd highest tonnage of the war. Her fifth patrol is the stuff of legends: in August 1944 during a single night surface attack on a Japanese convoy off the Philippines she sank the escort carrier Taiyo and three marus, and during that same patrol she sank another ship. More like a novel than a historical narrative, Red Scorpion covers all aspects of the Rasher's outstanding combat history in a way that both the general reader and veteran submariner will appreciate. The author is the son of a "mustang" who served in the Rasher, and from his father's perspective he follows the sub from builder's ways, through eight action-packed patrols, to war's end. His richly detailed descriptions of submarine operations include lively commentary by former Rasher crew members and excerpts from patrol reports, along with a close examination of patrol procedures, communications, lifeguarding, and other topics rarely covered in such detail. The book also explores the essence of submarine combat-aggressive leadership-and its role in the Rasher's success. Very good in very good dust jacket. DJ has slight wear and soiling.
