Book Description
The dramatic history of America's highly clandestine,
dangerous, and sometimes deadly submarine espionage missions
is a real-life Hunt for Red October-and a story Naval
investigators don't want you to know.
From the Author
"We've spent our careers as investigative reporters,
but this was by far our most challenging story. For one
thing, naval investigative agents trailed us, actively
discouraging sources from speaking. Still, over the course of
five years of research, we eventually interviewed hundreds of
men who had never spoken about what they'd done-not even to
their wives and children. . . . We'll always remember just
how relieved they were to sit down with us and finally tell
someone, 'I did this. I was there, too. They were silent
heroes, and this book is their story."
