Who's the author, and what is the ISBN number?
Most importantly, what's it about?

Yea, there were two specials I have on tape based on the book. One was on PBS (Nova) and the other was on the History Channel. They're both good but the book is better.

I gotta admit, I was not impressed with the book

It was more a spy book than a real source of ASW tactics, techniques ect...

I was hoping on getting info on cold war submarine encounters, but it still is classified on both sides
