Is the truth important to you? Have we in the diving community, as well as the general public been duped? Was artistic license employed, or was the testimony of others altered to produce results that are at variance from the truth?
After years of research, countless hours of interviews, checking and double-checking facts, and nearly six months of writing and editing to insure absolute accuracy, Gary Gentile, utilizing the volumes of research accumulated by Harold Moyers, has produced the whole story about the discovery, and subsequent identification of the U-869. In Shadow Divers Exposed U 869, Mr. Gentile explains why the evidence does not support the circular run of the 869s torpedo as its demise. He exposes the reader to witnesses that were seemingly ignored. Was it so that their recollections would not be at odds with the tale that the author of Shadow Divers was telling? In this latest work, Gary introduces the reader to participants in major events chronicled in Shadow Divers that are never mentioned. Was that not to detract from the heroism of the main characters?
Admittedly, Shadow Divers is a well written and interesting work, but is it a true story, or is it merely based on a true story? I submit to you that there is a world of difference between the two. If this subject interests you, then you owe it to yourself to read Shadow Divers Exposed U 869 and decide for yourself.
Shadow Divers Exposed U 869, should be available on Gary Gentiles web site in the next several weeks, or ask for it at your local Dive Shop
Disclaimer: I have no dog in this hunt, no monetary or material interest. My only connection to this issue other than my interest in things relating to diving and diving history is that I know Gary Gentile. I know that his methodology of research and his quest for accuracy is without equal. If he tells you why or the way something occurred, he was either present at the time, or he thoroughly interviewed those that were. And, in many cases, he has the interviewee read what he wrote before publication to insure that his writing matches the intent of what was related to him.
