'Don Keith should rightly be regarded as the most prolific current historian of U.S. submarine history. Undersea Warrior is a fast-paced and well-written history.

  'Riveting.  That's the best word to describe the white-knuckle tension and drama that Don Keith delivers in WAR BENEATH THE WAVES.  (He) writes in an engaging, you-are-there style calculated to bring the reader to the edge of his seat.'  --John Sledge, Mobile (Alabama) Press-Register

 '...will inform and please both the rank newcomer to the subject and the well-read expert on it. Invaluable for the WWII submarine annals.'   --BOOKLIST 

'A story of extraordinary courage and valor...Keith has done yeoman's work setting the stage and detailing (the) story.'   -- Florida Times-Union

 'Narrator Stephen Hoye keeps himself from becoming subsumed in the characters and remains the storyteller. He separates sentences with a slight pause without causing discontinuity. The technique prevents him from racing through the technically difficult descriptions that are so important to the story. In capturing the terror of the situation, Hoye credibly portrays how men under such pressure can find themselves unable to think.'  --AudioFile Magazine (review of the audio version of WAR BENEATH THE WAVES)
