A momentous true adventure with a consistent narrative. Many reviewers have summarized the book, so I won't do so. However, I feel like I have to add some contrast to the reviewers who referred to the late Captain Anderson's narrative as "dry" and/or "unemotional"*. That was not my perception at all, especially the "unemotional" label. For instance, it was obvious that the skipper was wearing his heart on his sleeves while describing the numerous celebrations of the mission in New York and in his hometown. Also, Anderson shared many heartfelt accolades and points of pride about his crew and others who helped the U.S.S. Nautilus circumvent the polar north ice cap. He was obviously very unassuming and redirected any accolades he received towards others he felt were more deserving, namely his crew. Perhaps it's my background as a military dependent, and having family members in the service, but my observations are that for the U.S. military there is a long tradition and honor in finishing the job and doing so in the most efficient way possible (and sticking to the facts while describing it). Given these phenomena, instead of "dry" and "unemotional", I would describe the narrative as consistent and straight-to-the-point. I feel Anderson's narrative is symbolic of him running a "tight ship". Thankfully the military chain of command doesn't operate as portrayed in overly dramatic Hollywood movies such as the mutinous infighting in the movie "Crimson Tide" (it's a great edge-of-your-seat movie though). In a broader sense I felt this book greatly symbolized the close-knit nature of a military community and the importance of team, which is a great contrast to contemporary western civilization's overt focus on the individual. While reading the narrative, I felt that I was alongside Captain Anderson in the presence of Admiral Rickover or President Eisenhower, or on board the Nautilus during its momentous missions. What else would a reader want from this type book? *I have seen similar descriptors of other books written by Greatest Generation authors, such as "The Great Escape ".
