Dive deep into the remarkable story of United States Navy Rear Admiral Eugene Fluckey, an innovator in WWII submarine warfare. As commander of the USS Barb, Fluckey and his valiant crew revolutionized submarine combat with tactics that resulted in the destruction of a multitude of enemy vessels and even a daring clandestine operation to sabotage a train.

Fluckey's exceptional leadership and innovative strategies not only changed the course of the war, but also earned him the highest U.S. military decoration - the Medal of Honor. We're privileged to bring you this extraordinary tale of courage, strategy, and resilience in war.

You can find the book he authored here:
