Title: Red November
Description: Few know how close the world has come to annihilation better than the warriors who served America during the 46-year struggle known as the Cold War. Yet for decades their work has remained shrouded in secrecy. Now, W. Craig Reed, former U.S. Navy diver and fast-attack submariner, provides an eye-opening narrative of the underwater struggles and espionage operations between the United States and the former USSR that brought us several times to the brink of nuclear war. Reed served aboard submarines involved in espionage operations, and his father was a top naval intelligence specialist intimately involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Reed is one of the first authors to obtain in-depth interviews with dozens of navy divers, espionage operatives, submariners, and government officials on both sides (including several Soviet submarine captains), who describe the most daring and decorated missions of the conflict.--From publisher description.
