Hostile Waters

In 1986, a crippled Soviet missile sub sank off American shores in 16,000 feet of water, coming within moments of a nuclear meltdown. Had her reactors exploded, the radioactivity released into the Gulf Stream would have dwarfed the Chernobyl disaster. Its highly classified story has finally surfaced. This is the gripping, true story of the Soviet sailors who fought to save their submarine, risking fire, smoke, poison gas, & intense radioactivity. Their secret struggle & sacrifice saved the American coast from nuclear catastrophe. Reads like a page-turning thriller, a tale of underwater intrigue & terror, but it really happened. Photos.
