Few individuals outside the intelligence and submarine communities knew anything about these top-secret missions. <p/>Cloaking itself in virtual invisibility to avoid detection, the <i>USS Blackfin </i>went sub vs. sub deep within Soviet-controlled waters north of the Arctic Circle, where the risks were extraordinarily high and anything could happen. Readers will know what it was like to carry out a covert mission aboard a nuke and experience the sights, sounds, and dangers unique to submarining.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"An exciting and realistic journey deep into the cold black waters of covert submarine espionage during the Cold War era." --<i>Kenneth Sewell, New York Times bestselling author of Red Star Rogue and All Hands Down</i> <p/>"No submariner has ever served aboard a boat called <i>Blackfin, </i>and every submariner has. For nukes especially, <i>Stalking the Red Bear</i> is a cross between finding a covert diary and coming home." --<i>Sherry Sontag, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Peter Sasgen, who worked closely with the sub's commanding officer on this project, is an expert on submarines.
