" Written by one of the participants in the cold war submarine warfare of the past couple decades, this is an inside glimpse into the nerve wracking operations undertaken by our military to preserve superiority. The brinkmanship of the sixties and subsequent covert naval operations take center stage in this non-fiction account. "

" Having "submariner blood" on both sides of the family (My maternal great uncle went down on a sub off of Kiska in WWII and my father was a cold-war submariner), I have read several books on the subject. Although the subject matter can get pretty technical sometimes, the overall stories always fascinate me. Putting a small group of people in a enclosed area and subjecting them to danger is the ultimate test of the human psyche. "

" "Interesting stories about what happen underneath the oceans of the world during the 45 year period of the Cold War. If you like submarines and The Hunt for Red October, you'll like this one. Me? Not so much." "

" This is a firsthand account of the cold war by a submariner who was there. It is not well written, but full of interesting details about events we were never told about by our government. "

" A fairly interesting look into a time and place that I have never given much thought. I gave it 3 stars because by chapter 3 I was getting distracted by typos. A better job of proof reading/editing would have made this a more enjoyable read. "

" Lots of facts, history and pieces to the puzzle of how close we came to WW3. It was nice to see through two generations of submariners. Scary and exciting. Makes you thankful for what others have done to keep us safe. "

" This fascinating account effectively ties several stories together while painting an understandable picture of how the relevant technology works and why it was important. Aside from a few repetitive passages and web site references not including access dates there is little room for improvement.

" I won this on first reads.
Being into history and the truths that are out there not being talked about. I found this a super read. I enjoyed the personal accounts as those are hard to find when dealing with history. I will be keeping this for a long time.
