The botched Nazi kidnapping of the Duke of Windsor . . . How did a serendipitous series of events save the duke from Hitler's grasp (and the Allied forces from a crippling strategic setback)?
The curious sinking of the Tang
. . . How did this deadliest of U.S. submarines come to meet such an unexpected and mysterious end?
