5.0 out of 5 stars Finally I Read About My Grandfather's Role on the Asterion!, 4 Sep 1999
By A Customer
A super book on an overlooked part of the Battle of the Atlantic --- the U.S. Q-Ships. Moreover, thanks to Kenneth Beyer, the families of men on the "Secret Ships" Asterion and Atik have a reference that documents what their parents and, in my case, grandparents accomplished, endured and gave in a little documented aspect of the Battle of the Atlantic.

I knew my Mother's Father, Guy Brown Ray, was an officer aboard the Asterion but little else until Mr. Beyer's book.

Mr. Beyer -- THANK YOU!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A surviving son finally learns true fate of heroic father, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
As the surviving son of Daniel Kosmider who was assigned to the USS ATIK I read with relish the information concerning his fate which has been hidden for all these years. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. This is a tale of heroic men, officer and enlisted, who agreed to serve as shark bait. The game they played could not have been any more dangerous and if attacked, they could expect no assistance. This is an excellent read but hardly the finest hour for the president and navy brass who put such brave men in such an untennable position.
