Silent Running
Summary
In this riveting personal account, an authentic American hero relives the perils and triumphs of eight harrowing patrols aboard one of America's most successful World War II submarines. Courageous deeds and terror-filled moments - as well as the endless hard work of maintaining and operating a combat sub - are vividly recalled in Calvert's candid portrait. From rigorous training and shakedown cruises off the coast of New England to tense patrols within shouting distance of Japan's major cities, the progress of the newly commissioned USS Jack parallels Calvert's own growth from callow ensign to charter member of one of the sharpest attack teams in the fleet. Silent Running is more than a masterful collection of war stories. The greatest drama takes place within Jim Calvert himself, as his values, his training, and his courage are put to test daily, both at sea and ashore. He must come to terms with a forbidden love, overcome fear and self-doubt, cope with the loss of comrades, and face the constant reality that each and every day at sea might be his last. Jim Calvert has created one of the most remarkable World War II memoirs to date.

One of Us Works for Them
Summary
Captain Carl Kraft is a man dancing on a dangerous tight-rope. By day, he works as an Army Intelligence Officer; by night, he secretly reports his department’s strengths and weaknesses to a harsh and mysterious superior. Assigned the dirtiest job in his profession, he is ordered to set up a patsy—to frame a fellow officer as a traitor! “I’ve worked with spies for more than ten years. Or, to be absolutely accurate, against spies. So if there’s nothing else I know, I know what spies like, what they talk about, what motivates them, what they live for, and what they’re willing to die for. Themselves, that’s what. In all departments.” So says the new breed of hero in One of Us Works for Them.
