The greatest undersea adventure of the 20th century. The Ice
Diaries tells the incredible true story of Captain William R.
Anderson and his crew's harrowing top-secret mission aboard the USS
Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine. Bristling
with newly classified, never-before-published information and
photos from the captain's personal collection, The Ice Diaries
takes readers on a dangerous journey beneath the vast, unexplored
Arctic ice cap during the height of the Cold War. "Captain Anderson
and the crew of the USS Nautilus exemplified daring and boldness in
taking their boat beneath the Arctic ice to the North Pole. This
expertly told story captures the drama, danger, and importance of
that monumental achievement." ?Capt. Stanley D. M. Carpenter,
Professor of Strategy and Policy, United States Naval War College
"Few maritime exploits in history have so startled the world as the
silent, secret transpolar voyage of the U.S. Navy's nuclear
submarine Nautilus, and none since the age of Columbus and Vasco da
Gama has opened, in one bold stroke, so vast and forbidding an area
of the seas." ?Paul O'Neil, Life magazine
