The story of the three raids carried out by the Japanese Coffin Boats during World War 2 (WW2): part of Pearl Harbour attack (December 1941), Sydney Harbour and Diego Suarez in Madagascar (both May 1942). Peggy Warner and Sadao Seno have consulted all the archives on both sides of the Pacific and interviewed all those still alive who played any part in the three raids to write a vivid and accurate account of this curious and short-lived experiment in underwater warfare.
