Me too! When I read, I find myself gravitating to history based subjects.

Ya, history is sooooooo interesting. I like industrial type more so.

I shouldn't say history per se, more like historic events or efforts that have secrecy, innovation or intrigue. I'm reading a book right now called "Gun Barons: The Weapons That Transformed America and the Men Who Invented Them"

Some other favorites were "The Taking of K-129", "The Frackers", "The Big Rich"

And now, the USS Harder.


"We are grateful that Lost 52 has given us the opportunity to once again honor the valor of the crew of the 'Hit'em Harder' submarine that sank the most Japanese warships -- in particular audacious attacks -- under her legendary skipper Cmdr. Sam Dealey."

"The submarine which earned the nickname "Hit 'em Harder," and became one of the most feared vessels in the Pacific as it was credited with sinking five Japanese destroyers and rescuing a special forces unit trapped behind enemy lines, during World War II.

Japanese eventually managed to sink the Harder with a depth charge on Aug. 24, 1944. Seventy-nine crew members lost their lives."
