Abstract:

In the early days of World War II, residents of the Outer Banks' communities, including Harkers Island and villagers on Hatteras and Ocracoke islands, saw the war up close and personal, as German submarines sank Allied ships within sight of the mainland. Cheatham recounts incidents from the dark days of 1942, when German U-Boats ruled the seas off North Carolina.
