But in 1991, not even these courageous divers were prepared for what they found 230 feet below the surface, in the frigid waters of the Atlantic: a Second World War German U-boat, its ruined interior a macabre wasteland of twisted metal, tangled wires and human bones. No identifying marks were visible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo historian, expert or government had a clue as to which U-boat the men had found, and the official records all agreed that there simply could not be a sunken U-boat and crew there. Over the next six years, an elite team of divers embarked on a quest of increasingly perilous diving and painstaking archival research to solve the mystery. Some of them would not live to see its end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChatterton and Kohler, at first bitter rivals, would be drawn into a friendship that deepened to an almost mystical sense of brotherhood with each other and with the drowned U-boat sailors – former enemies of their country. Bestselling author Robert Kurson’s account of this quest is thrilling, vivid and emotionally complex. It’s a story of persistence, ingenuity and a shared obsession.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublication: 13 Aug 2026, Pan Macmillan \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781405990561\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 416 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57472654082430,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781405990561.jpg?v=1779880333","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/shadow-divers-the-true-adventure-of-two-remarkable-men-who-solved-an-incredible-second-world-war-mystery-by-robert-kurson","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
