Hunter Killers Hardcover - 2013

by Iain Ballantyne


From the publisher

Official Royal Navy definition: "Hunter Killer" a submarine designed to pursue and attack enemy submarines and surface ships using torpedoes

"Hunter Killers" follows the careers of four daring British submarine captains who risked their lives during the Cold War to keep the rest of the world safe, their exploitsconsigned to the shadows until now. Their experiences encompass the span of the Cold War, from voyages in WWII-era submarines under Arctic ice to nuclear-powered espionage missions in Soviet-dominated seas. There are dangerous encounters with Russian spy ships in UK waters and, finally, as the communist facade begins to crack, they hold the line against the Kremlin's oceanic might, playing a leading role in bringing down the Berlin Wall. It is the first time they have spoken out about their covert lives in the submarine service. This is the dramatic untold story of Britain's most secret service."
