"WAR FISH" - By George Grider as told to Lydel Sims. Grider was a lieutenant aboard the famous USS Wahoo (SS-238), and served under Commander 'Mush' Morton. Grider was later transferred to USS Pollack (SS-180). Taking over as executive officer on the newly commissioned Hawkbill (SS-366), Grider eventually assumed command of the high-scoring submarine USS Flasher (SS-249). In just two patrols with Flasher Commander Grider sank 6 ships, at over 40,000 tons. This is the true story of World War II submarine action in the Pacific, as told by one of the finest skippers of the war. Grider tells a brutally honest and hard-hitting story of his time in the submarine service. Very popular, difficult to find and long out of print. 1959 first edition Paperback. Unique to this edition, the rare color cover artwork, and white inside pages. 192 pages, no photos, maps or index.

"War Fish"  BOOK REVIEWS

    "Up from the impassive depths of the sea has come a book that, more than any other, tells the definitive story of the submarine's war beneath the surface."  New York Times

   "The most silent, secret and desperate drama of World War II was probably in the war patrols of U.S. submarines... War Fish succeeds not only in recreating vividly the trigger-tense atmosphere of the conning tower as the torpedoes speed to their mark, but in some subtle way we live out the war-time life of a career naval officer as he works his way up finally to his own command, the redoubtable Flasher, top-scoring submarine of the entire Pacific... It is good to have this record of one of the great undersea captains to remember." New York Herald Tribune

   "One of the best war books of the decade." Indianapolis Times
