Good Read
Got this the other day, interesting look at the Cold War sub ops from the Russian side.
"Rising Tide" by Gary E Weir and Walter J Boyne. Very informative view of the differences in the training, skills, and thinking of the USSR skippers. Really brings to light how the USSR Navy operates; less a study of the actual boats, more an insight into the men who drive them. Good stuff! http://books.google.com/books?vid=IS...IbHRzcPyt0KSj4 |

If you liked "Rising Tide", then you will also like "October Fury" by Peter Huchthausen. It is the story of four Soviet Foxtrot-class subs during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.

And what with "Rig Ship for Ultra Quiet" of Andrew Karam, is it a good book ?
