Description
The world came close to annihilation during the Cold War. In this gripping history, former U.S. Navy diver and fast-attack submariner W. Craig Reed recounts the tense underwater dramas and covert espionage operations that brought the United States and the former Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war on several occasions. Reed provides a thrilling narrative of the secret conflict, revealing never-before-revealed details about some of its most dramatic episodes. From the harrowing underwater cat-and-mouse chase in October 1962 that almost kicked off World War III, to the desperate hours when the USS Seawolf sat grounded by engine failure at the bottom of the sea during an espionage mission in Soviet waters. This book offers an intimate look at the lives of those who participated in one of the most dangerous eras in world history. With its riveting story and eye-opening insights, Red November is a compelling account of the secret U.S.-Soviet submarine war that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
