Sorry if this should be posted else where, but I just got the book "Blinds mans Bluff".

If you havent read it, and like ASW then get it immediatly.

What a book

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

even events such as project jenniefer are still classified even after 30 odd years its a shame
