"Excellent. . . . A valuable contribution." --Nautical Research"Highly recommended." --Choice"This fascinating and detailed book covers both the history of the original craft and a report on the construction and operation of the replica." --Work Boat World (Australia)"An unusual maritime history book that is both engrossing and a pleasure to read." --Northern Mariner"Thanks to the authors of this well-executed history, we have a much better idea of how [the Turtle and its mission] worked out." --International Journal of Maritime History"Built at the dawn of the American Revolution, the one-man wooden submersible, its creation, and its attacks on the Royal Navy in New York harbor is a story still surrounded in mystery. In this much anticipated book, Roy Manstan and Frederic Frese bring the story of Bushnell's revolutionary underwater machine to life."--Jerry Roberts, Connecticut River Museum
