Published by Berkley Caliber in 2012, this non-fictional account intertwines the story of Nazi and Japanese efforts to share war technology with the story of the U-864 and its ultimate destruction by the British submarine H.M.S. Venture, the only submarine in history to sink another sub in underwater combat. It's a fantastic book!
U-864 was carrying 67 tonnes of liquid mercury, sealed in individual steel bottles. It subsequently developed into a huge environmental risk and has since been entombed under a heavy cover of sand and gravel. Another terrible cost of war.
