Product Information
Over the course of five years, investigative reporters Sherry Sontag and Chris Drew interviewed hundreds of men who had never spoken about their underwater lives--not even to their wives and children. They uncovered a wealth of classified information: the tapping of undersea Soviet telephone cables, the stealing of Soviet weapons, the tragic collisions of enemy submarines. They tell of medals awarded in secret and deaths disguised with disinformation. Blind Man's Bluff is a critical work of history that reads with all the excitement of a Tom Clancy novel and all the tragedy of Das Boot.Product Identifiers

A really great thriller about spying
It’s an older story that had been around since the nineties but is still able to cast the thrill of the submarine service and the political tensions of the times. Most people did not realize what the scope of spying the U.S. did at that time. Also the damage our own people who spied for the Russians. The story is well.written by Ms Sontag and will keep you completely wrapped up in the book. This was the second time I have read the book and it was in no way boring to read again. Perhaps I will read it again if I live that long, say about ten years from now.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

As real as it gets.
This is simply a great book. Well researched and accurate. I followed these men, yet did the same only with more advanced subs. I am glad that the Cold War ended. I liked the 2nd review which sums it up. This is easy to read, it just flows. It does lack mystery but it is real so that is the suspense. Worth reading. You will learn the price of Freedom and what we do to maintain it. An honour to serve, a great, accurate and fast moving book that all should read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

All in the family
The book was in exceptional shape. I bought this book for my wife whose father was aboard the Cochino sub when it sank. The rank and file sailors were told they were in the tropics, so imagine his confusion when he got to the surface. I have not read it but plan to. She says it's a great read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Excellent read!
As a cold war submarine veteran, I can say this book pretty much nails it for accuracy on what life was like back then on board a fast attack submarine in the 1970's and 80's.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
