Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson (2004). One of the best books I've read in a long time, this is a nonfiction account of the discovery and exploration of a previously unknown German U-boat that sank off the New Jersey coast during World War II. Kurson goes beyond the narrative of the dive and search of the U-boat to delve into the lives and background of the characters who partake in the quest, and this is what makes the book so compelling. Grade: A
