Description
?Red November delivers the real life feel and fears of submariners who risked their lives to keep the peace.?
?Steve Berry, author of The Paris Vendetta
W. Craig Reed, a former navy diver and fast-attack submariner, provides a riveting portrayal of the secret underwater struggle between the US and the USSR in Red November. A spellbinding true-life adventure in the bestselling tradition of Blind Man's Bluff, it reveals previously undisclosed details about the most dangerous, daring, and decorated missions of the Cold War, earning raves from New York Times bestselling authors David Morrell, who calls it, ?palpably gripping,? and James Rollins, who says, ?If Tom Clancy had turned The Hunt for Red October into a nonfiction thriller, Red November might be the result.?

- Declassified Cold War Operations: Go inside four of the most secret submarine projects for the first time, including the top-secret Holystone, Ivy Bells, Boresight, and Bulls Eye programs.
- The Brink of Nuclear War: Experience the tension of the Cuban Missile Crisis from below the waves, where a single order could have triggered global annihilation.
- The Underwater Tech Race: From the first diesel ?smoke boats? to the dawn of the nuclear age, witness the covert technological battle for supremacy beneath the world's oceans.
