New: The Untold (Silent) 1968 Story of a Soviet Submarine's (Strange) Mission


About Red Star Rogue: 'The Untold Story of a Soviet Submarines Nuclear Strike Attempt on the U.S.' "One of the great secrets of the Cold War, hidden for decades, is revealed at last." by Kenneth Sewell and Clint Richmond, Released: 13 September, 2005 ISBN: 0743261127 Sales

Excerpts from the only unflattering review of the 10 at time of this posting:

SubGuru former submariner , (not me) wrote:
If you approach this book as a techno-thriller, it's at least as good as the latest submarine fiction from DiMercurio, for example.

...I think it's much more likely that K-129 was lost after an explosion in one of the missile tubes during a routine patrol, much like what happened to the Yankee-class sub K-219 in October 1986 off of Bermuda. (Unless, of course, you believe the 'Hostile Waters' conspiracy theory that K-219 sank after colliding with an American sub -- If you believe that, then you must also believe that a U.S. sub torpedoed the Russian submarine Kursk.)

Go ahead and read this book, but don't believe everything you read.


Molten Eagle intends to read this book as soon as possible.
