Synopsis

One of the great secrets of the Cold War, hidden for decades, is revealed at last. Early in 1968, a nucleararmed Soviet submarine sank close to American shores.

The clandestine, halfbilliondollar U.S. project to recover the sub helped forge new relations with the Sovietseven as it revealed a treacherous plan that, had it succeeded, would have had devastating consequences.

Goodreads review by Lon on February 03, 2009

I had a hard time putting this book down once I started it. It has the feel of a fictional spy thriller, but only small details of the story are currently unverifiable and probably always will be. The apparent shake-up at the Kremlin says enough for me.......more

I bought a hardcover copy of this book for just the equivalent of half a dollar at a bargain bookstore two years ago. The events surrounding the motive of the submarine and its crew are mostly through educated guesswork.......more
