The hunters of the Atlantic Ocean had become the hunted, and US antisubmarine Task Group 22.3 seized a Nazi U-boat, its crew, and all its secrets. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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 blown to bits by depth charges, with all hands lost at sea. They were unaware that the U-boat, its Enigma machine, and its Nazi coded messages were now in American hands. They were also unaware that 59 German sailors captured on the high seas were imprisoned in a POW camp in Ruston, Louisiana, until their release in 1946. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA deeply researched, fast-paced World War II narrative for the ages, Charles Lachman's \u003ci\u003eCodename Nemo\u003c\/i\u003e traces every step of this historic pursuit on the deadly seas.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Lachman\u003c\/b\u003e is author of five previous books, including\u003ci\u003e Footsteps in the Snow\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Lincolns\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Secret Life\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the crime novel \u003ci\u003eIn the Name of the Law\u003c\/i\u003e.
