{"product_id":"b0cm42rft1","title":"Codename Nemo: The Hunt for a Nazi U-Boat and the Elusive Enigma Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe true story of the US Navy operation that captured Nazi submarine U-505, its crew, technology, encryption codes, and an Enigma cipher machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo days before D-Day, the course of World War II was forever changed. The hunters of the Atlantic Ocean had become the hunted, and US antisubmarine Task Group 22.3 seized a Nazi U-boat. Led by a nine-man boarding party and Captain Daniel Gallery, Operation Nemo was the first seizure of an enemy warship in battle since the War of 1812, a victory that shortened the duration of the war. But at any moment, the mission could have ended in disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Lachman tells this thrilling cat-and-mouse game through the eyes of the men on both sides of Operation Nemo—German U-boaters and American heroes like Lieutenant Albert David (Mustang), who led the boarding party that took control of U-505 and became the only sailor to be awarded the Medal of Honor in the Battle of the Atlantic. Three thousand American sailors participated in this extraordinary adventure; nine ordinary American men channeling extraordinary skill and bravery finished the job; and then—like everyone involved—breathed not a word of it until the war was over. In Berlin, the German Kriegsmarine assumed that U-505 had been destroyed with all hands lost at sea, unaware that the U-boat, its Enigma machine, and its Nazi coded messages were now in American hands. They were also unaware that the fifty-nine captured German sailors were imprisoned in a POW camp in Ruston, Louisiana, until their release in 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA deeply researched, fast-paced World War II narrative for the ages, Charles Lachman's  Codename Nemo  traces every step of this historic pursuit on the deadly seas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52835366633688,"sku":"YSL58257","price":7.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/81J474K0VrL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793263542","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0cm42rft1","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
