Descriptionof Sub Culture

The book examines the crucial role of the submarine in modern history, its contribution to scientific progress and marine research, and its portrayal in art, literature, fantasy and film. From the American Civil War to the sinking of the Kursk, the book highlights the activities of submarines in the First and Second World Wars, the Cold War, secret operations and marine research to the present day. Sub Culture views submarines, particularly nuclear submarines, as the ultimate deterrent and doomsday weapon, and examines how their portrayal in popular culture has reinforced and occasionally undermined the military and political goals of the nations that employ them.
