All Hands Down: The True Story of the Soviet Attack on the USS Scorpion
Angebote / Angebote:
Sewell, a submarine veteran, and Preisler, a writer of techno-thrillers, add little new evidence in their version of the story, their new data is unfailingly familiar and they never succeed in making a persuasive case for the conspiracy and cover-up they claim occurred. Instead, Sewell and Preisler devote more time to anecdotes about the Scorpion's crew and their families and little vignettes of the routines on board a nuclear sub. What is undeniably useful is the book's demonstration of the high numbers of accidents between ships and aircrafts that were accepted as routine during much of the Cold War. All Hands Down highlights a truth no less relevant today: international incidents are in good part constructions mutually agreed upon after the event.
