Mair, Michael, (author.). Waldron, Joy, (author.). Dean, Robertson (narrator.).

Summary:

The Kaiten was so secret that even Japanese naval commanders didn't know of its existence. And the Americans kept it secret as well. Embarrassed by the shocking surprise attack, the U.S. Navy refused to salvage or inspect the sunken Mighty Miss. Only decades later would the survivors understand what really happened at Ulithi, when a diving team located the wreck in 2001.Michael Mair and Joy Waldron tell the full story from both sides.
