The Depths of Courage by Flint Whitlock
Chosen by WI History magazine as one of the Best Books of the Year. In the dark days after Pearl Harbor, the small, illequipped arm of the Navy known as Submarine Force would stand between the shattered U.S. Pacific Fleet and the might of the Japanese Navy. Unfortunately, the spirit and courage of the Submarine Force is being forgotten as the veterans of that force pass into history. To preserve their heroic tales of war beneath the sea, critically acclaimed author and military historian Flint Whitlock, in collaboration with decorated World War I submarine veteran Ron Smith, set out on a journey of more than two years to interview submariners and to record their accounts before the memories of their endeavors are lost forever. These are their stories.From 2014 to 2016, Ron Smith served as Virginia's Poet Laureate. He is the George Squires Chair of Outstanding Teaching and Writer-in-Residence at St. John's University. He also taught at St. Christopher's School in Richmond, Virginia, and was an adjunct associate professor at the University of Richmond. Running Again in Hollywood Cemetery (1988, second edition 2020), Moon Road (2007), Its Ghostly Workshop (2013), and The Humility of the Brutes (2017) are among Smith's poetry volumes.
