Edward L. Beach was a US Navy Captain whose submarine career spanned World War II and the Cold War. He commanded the USS Triton on its 1960 submerged circumnavigation of the globe, a feat he chronicled in Around the World Submerged (1962). His fiction and non-fiction both draw from decades of firsthand naval experience.
His novel Run Silent Run Deep (1955) became one of the most famous submarine novels ever written, later adapted into a film starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. He followed it with Dust On The Sea (1972) and Cold Is the Sea (1978). His non-fiction covers naval history from the Civil War through the nuclear age, including Submarine!, Wreck of the Memphis, and The United States Navy: 200 Years.
