  John Parker: Author: Military, Investigative, Biographical books: The Silent Service
The year 2001 marked the centenary of the Royal Navy's submarine fleet, the Silent Service, from its first operational submersible Holland I in 1901 to the giant nuclear vessels of modern times.
More than 5,000 British submariners died in the service of their country through two world wars (in which 14 VCs were awarded).
Parker brings the story right up to date with descriptions of life aboard the new breed of submarines carrying Britain's Trident nuclear deterrent and accounts of modern missions including the firing of submarine-launched cruise missiles on Belgrade during the Kosovo crisis.

 Reason Magazine - Silent Spring at 40
Rereading Silent Spring reminds one that the book's effectiveness was due mainly to Carson's passionate, poetic language describing the alleged horrors that modern synthetic chemicals visit upon defenseless nature and hapless humanity.
Carson was moved to write Silent Spring by her increasing concern about the effects of pesticides on wildlife.
The 1950s saw the advent of an array of synthetic pesticides that were hailed as modern miracles in the war against pests and weeds.

Vance) detects a new Soviet missile submarine as it comes out of the "barn" where the boomers are kept.
Considering the complexity of the topic and the ingrained reluctance of the Silent Service to talk openly about subs and their clandestine operations, the authors do a good job in creating a compelling and informative account of the Navy's covert Cold War missions.
