From the silent, crushing depths of the ocean, Up Periscope by David Masters chronicles the daring and deadly exploits of Royal Navy submarines during the Second World War, bringing to vivid life the courage of the men who fought beneath the waves. Masters draws on firsthand accounts and meticulous research to recount the harrowing patrols, narrow escapes, and decisive strikes that defined submarine warfare, placing the reader squarely inside the claustrophobic steel hulls where split-second decisions meant the difference between life and death. A masterwork of popular military history, the narrative captures both the technical ingenuity and the extraordinary human spirit that powered the submarine service through its darkest hours. Masters writes with journalistic precision and a storyteller's flair, ensuring that each mission resonates as both a strategic milestone and a deeply personal ordeal. Published as a Guild Books edition — designed to bring quality non-fiction to the widest possible audience — this volume remains a gripping testament to an often-overlooked theatre of war, and a compelling reminder that history's greatest battles are sometimes fought entirely out of sight.
