Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Shadow Divers -- A really Good Book
Permalink  

A few months ago several of us commented on the movie and book Into the Wild.

I have just finished an exceptionally well-written true story called Shadow Divers by Robert Kurston.  It is available in paperback.

Shadow Divers is the story of a couple of deep sea wreck divers who find a missing WWII U-Boat off the coast of New Jersey.  Several of their companions lose their lives in search of the identity of this vessel.

The story is gripping, true, and also provides some very touching insight into what some (probably many) of those who fought for Germany were thinking that the war was wrong and a waste of human life. 

This is not a story about plunder, but it is a story about human nature and how much we all have in common.

I give it 5 stars out of five -- although I think it may appeal more to us guys.

Thanks for the recommendation.  I think my DH will also enjoy the book. What a great new topic for the forum and maybe it should have it's own folder.  What do you think Howard?  I know a lot of us really enjoy reading and would like to share with other forum members.smile

Thanks for the recommendation.

In that vein, I was taken with Jon Krakauer's writing style in "Into The Wild" and have gone on to read all his other books. Of special note is "Into Thin Air", his recounting of his experiences on the fateful Mt Everest trip is 1996, where  6 of his fellow climbers lost their lives. Very gripping stuff.

Also his book on the history of the Mormon religion and the radical branch of conservative polygamists, is very interesting.  Look for  "Under The Banner of Heaven".
