{ "item_title" : "Codename Nemo", "item_author" : [" Charles Lachman", "Qarie Marshall "], "item_description" : "On June 4, 1944, the course of World War II was forever changed. That day, a US Navy task force achieved the impossible--capturing a German U-Boat. Called Operation Nemo, it was the first seizure of an enemy ship in battle since the War of 1812, one of the greatest achievements of the US Navy and a victory that shortened the duration of the war.Charles Lachman's white-knuckled war saga and thrilling cat-and-mouse game is told 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 Chief Motor Machinist Zenon Lukosius (Zeke), whose quick thinking saved the day when a hole threatened to sink U-505.Three thousand American sailors participated in this extraordinary adventure, nine ordinary American men channeling extraordinary skill and bravery finished the job, and then, everyone involved breathed not a word of it until after the war was over. In Berlin, the German Kriegsmarine assumed that U-505 had been blown to bits by depth charges. They were unaware that the U-Boat and its secrets, to be used in cracking Nazi coded messages, were now in American hands. They were also unaware that 59 German sailors were imprisoned in a POW camp, until their release in 1946. Following Operation Nemo step-by-step, author Charles Lachman has crafted a deeply researched, fast-paced World War II narrative for the ages.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/887/475/9798874750121_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "45.95", "online_price" : "45.95", "our_price" : "45.95", "club_price" : "45.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
