Sub Culture explores the crucial role of the submarine in modern
history, its contribution to scientific progress and maritime
exploration, and how it has been portrayed in art, literature,
fantasy and film. Ranging from the American Civil War to the
destruction of the Kursk, the book examines the submarine’s
activities in the First and Second World Wars, the Cold War, and in
covert operations and marine exploration to the present day. Citing
the submarine, particularly the nuclear submarine, as both ultimate
deterrent and doomsday weapon, Sub Culture examines how its
portrayal in popular culture has reinforced, and occasionally
undermined, the military and political agendas of the nation states
that deploy it.
