Torpedoes Away! (Hardcover): Maxwell Hawkins Torpedoes Away! (Hardcover)
Maxwell Hawkins
R964 Discovery Miles 9 640 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Torpedoes Away! details US Navy submarine operations during the first 18 months of World War Two. Author Maxwell Hawkins breathlessly covers the tense, dangerous missions of submarines USS Trout, Sea Raven, Pollack, Skipjack, Cuttlefish, and others. Between these first-hand reports stitched-together from interviews with crewmen, Hawkins describes the mechanical workings of submarines, as well as the history of submersibles beginning in the 17th Century. He spent over a year sifting through the archives of the Navy Department and conducted extensive interviews with many veteran submariners about their experiences in the Pacific during World War Two. The result is a classic study of underwater warfare, a must read for military historians and World War 2 buffs.

Cult of the Corpses (Paperback): Maxwell Hawkins Cult of the Corpses (Paperback)
Maxwell Hawkins; Introduction by John Locke
R507 Discovery Miles 5 070 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Two weird detective novelettes from the pulp magazine, Detective-Dragnet. These were early examples of a growing trend toward weird detective stories in the pulps in the early '30s. "Cult of the Corpses" involves a murderous voodoo cult on the loose in Manhattan; "Dealers in Death" involves the machinations of a contract killer who specializes in the art of undetectable murder. Both are well-written, entertaining stories, reprinted here for the first time since 1931. Also included is an exploration of the weird detective trend; and a portrait of the little-known pulp writer, Maxwell Hawkins.
