Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was a little concerned when I bought this book that it would be a script for a made for TV cheesy drama with nothing but irony dripping dialog and stories of love affairs. Thank goodness it turned out that there was none of that drama queen stuff. This is a book written like an investigative report. The author pulled together just a ton of details that I had not seen before in the media and laid out the full disaster in a tight chronological fashion. It is a very interesting story and a sad one at that given the opportunities that were wasted that could have rescued the trapped men. The book also speaks volumes about the current state of affairs of the Russian military or at least the navy.
If pressed the only complaint I would have is that the author did not also cover the salvage operation. He does a great job with the events leading up to the sinking, the actual event and the rescue operation. He then skips the salvage to go to the results of the dry dock investigation of the salvaged boat. Maybe he is going to put out a second book on the salvage operation. Overall this was a great book that read very fast. If you are interested in this event then you will just tear through this book in no time.
