[ARCHIVED] The Silent Service's First Hero: The First Submariner to Receive the Medal of Honor

Silent Services First Hero (Slide)

Celebrating 100 years since the first submariner received the Congressional Medal of Honor, dive into pre-World War II submarine history through the first comprehensive, analytical, investigation into the life and times of Henry Breault.  This book provides a new template for microhistorical observations into subjects whose primary sources are official military documentation to help better understand enlisted submariners.

We welcome author Ryan C. Walker.  Ryan served as a submariner in the U.S. Navy from 2014-19. He is currently a PhD researcher at the University of Portsmouth and has published several articles and chapters in edited collections on American submariners, American Naval-Capital towns, and British Private-Men-of-War.
