Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage
Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage | Sherry Sontag
4 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
For decades American submarines have roamed the depths in a dangerous battle for information and advantage in missions known only to a select few. Now, after six years of research, those missions are told in Blind Man's Bluff, a magnificent achievement in investigative reporting. It reads like a spy thriller -- except everything in it is true. This is an epic of adventure, ingenuity, courage, and disaster beneath the sea, a story filled with unforgettable characters who engineered daring missions to tap the enemy's underwater communications cables and to shadow Soviet submarines. It is a story of heroes and spies, of bravery and tragedy.

This was a fascinating tale about US submarine “silent service”, primarily versus the USSR. It appears to be well researched and is highly detailed. I recommend the audiobook since the text can be a little dry, and I may not have finished this in print. If you‘re interested in the Cold War, the US Navy, or submarines in general, there‘s a good chance you‘ll like this.

Parche might have been headed toward a mission more daring than any depicted a couple of years later in The Hunt for Red October, but she was manned by a crew taking its cues from M*A*S*H” 😳🤣🤣

This was fascinating! I had always meant to read this one, ever since my dad raved about it 20 years ago but it was somehow never the time. So glad I've finally read it.
