"Sub culture" explores the crucial role of the submarine in modern history, its contribution to scientific progress and maritime exploration, and how it has been translated into art, literature, fantasy and film. From the American Civil War to the destruction of the Kursk, this book examines the submarine's activities in the First and Second World Wars, the Cold War and in covert operations and marine exploration. Citing the submarine, particularly the nuclear submarine, as both ultimate deterrent and doomsday weapon, the author examines how its portrayal in popular culture has reinforced, and occasionally undermined, the military and political agendas of the nation states that deploy it.
