Death Lurks off of Jersey’s Shores…

“These words are real literature, not only war history…”

— Dr. Wolf Hänert, son of U-550 commander

Publishing early April, Killing Shore is the shocking true story of Nazi Germany’s naval assault against American coastal waters told through the eyes of seafarers who experienced it off New Jersey.

Every American coastal state became a battlefront in 1942, and the events that transpired off New Jersey illustrate the perils and brutality of this forgotten campaign. The seafloor along the Garden State is today strewn with shipwrecks that bear witness to the innumerable ways to die faced by friend and foe alike only miles from the boardwalk.

Though these seafarers’ lives were forfeit, the battle they fought would decide the fates of millions. You can secure your copy today for 25% off using offer code 25KISH. But act fast; this preorder offer ends April 4th when the book goes on sale everywhere!
