Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story Of American Submarine Espionage

by Sherry Sontag, Christopher Drew, Annette Lawrence Drew (With)

Overview

A New York Times bestseller
 
The secret history of America's submarine warfare is revealed for the first time in this fast-paced and deeply researched chronicle of adventure and intrigue during the Cold War

For decades, only a select and powerful few knew the truth about the submarines that silently roamed the ocean in danger and in stealth, seeking information and advantage. Based on six years of groundbreaking investigation into the “silent service,” Blind Man’s Bluff uncovers an epic story of adventure, courage, victory, and disaster beneath the surface. With an unforgettable array of characters from the Cold War to the twenty-first century, Sontag and Drew recount scenes of secrecy from Washington, DC, to the depths of the sea. A magnificent achievement in investigative reporting, Blind Man’s Bluff reads like a spy thriller with one important difference: everything is true.
