The book is a gold mine on sub design from the end of the second world war up to the end of the cold war.
It examines both soviet and american design filosophies as well the actual subs that were construted, and those that were imagined but never went beyond the design stage (The CONFORM project in particular was way too advanced for the technology of the time, a sleek sailless sub).
It is definiteley worth the price, if you're not sure about the book you can always ask someone else about it.
I think XabbaRus or Kapitan have it.
