Blind Man's Bluff
Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story Of American Submarine Espionage | Sherry Sontag, Christopher Drew
4 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
Over the course of five years, investigative reporters Sherry Sontag and Chris Drew interviewed hundreds of men who had never spoken about their underwater livesnot even to their wives and children. They uncovered a wealth of classified information: the tapping of undersea Soviet telephone cables, the stealing of Soviet weapons, the tragic collisions of enemy submarines. They tell of medals awarded in secret and deaths disguised with disinformation. Blind Man's Bluff is a critical work of history that reads with all the excitement of a Tom Clancy novel and all the tragedy of Das Boot.

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.
