Featured Book

This book tells the exhilarating story of the will, endurance, and technical know-how of extraordinary people who made a lifelong impact on an entire nation and sixty-nine grieving families, recounting the search, discovery and the resulting attempts to find out what really happened that night, over thirty years previous. The story of the lost submarine captured the public's heart. Many Israeli cities and towns have a Dakar Street, and several schools and other public institutions are also named for the lost submarine.
