About this listen
Early in 1968, a nuclear-armed Soviet submarine sank in the waters off Hawaii, hundreds of miles closer to American shores than it should have been. Compelling evidence strongly suggests that the sub sank while attempting to fire a nuclear missile.
We now know that the Soviets had lost track of the sub; it had become a rogue. The Nixon administration launched a clandestine, half-billion-dollar project to recover the sunken K-129. The successful recovery effort helped forge new relations between the U.S. and the Soviets, even as it revealed a treacherous plan to provoke war between the U.S. and China, a plan that, had it succeeded, would have had devastating consequences.

In the early hours of February 25, 1968, a Russian submarine armed with three nuclear ballistic missiles set sail from its base in Siberia on a routine combat patrol to Hawaii. Then it vanished. As the Soviet navy searched in vain for the lost vessel, a small, highly classified American operation using sophisticated deep-sea spy equipment found it - wrecked on the sea floor at a depth of 16,800 feet, far beyond the capabilities of any salvage that existed.

From the very beginning of its statehood in 1948, protecting the nation from harm has been the responsibility of its intelligence community and armed services, and there is one weapon in their vast arsenal that they have relied upon to thwart the most serious threats: Targeted assassinations have been used countless times, on enemies large and small....

In the chaos following World War II, the US government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States. Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery.

It spun its own truth to the nation while reality lay buried in classified archives. Now, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Tim Weiner offers a stunning indictment of the CIA, a deeply flawed organization that has never deserved America's confidence.

Out in the Pacific Ocean, there is a war taking place.

The Chinese regard the Pacific, and especially the South China Sea, as their ocean, and they're ready to defend it. Each day the heat between the two countries increases as the Chinese try to claim the South China Sea for their own, and the United States insists on asserting freedom of navigation.

Story
In March 1941, after a year of unbroken and devastating U-boat onslaughts, the British War Cabinet decided to try a new strategy in the foundering naval campaign. To do so, they hired an intensely private, bohemian physicist who was also an ardent socialist. Patrick Blackett was a former navy officer and future winner of the Nobel Prize; he is little remembered today, but he and his fellow scientists did as much to win the war against Nazi Germany as almost anyone else.

A decade after the Cold War, a violent explosion sent the Russian submarine Kursk to the bottom of the Barents Sea. The Russians claimed an outdated torpedo caused the incident and refused help from the West while 23 survivors died before they could be rescued. When Russian naval officers revealed evidence of a collision with a US spy sub, Vladimir Putin squelched the allegations and fired the officers. In Spies of the Deep, W. Craig Reed shatters the lies told by both Russian and US officials and exposes several shocking truths.

Here was the first extensive combat application of Stealth technology. And it was devastating.

One Navy admiral called it "one of the greatest unsolved sea mysteries of our era". To this day, the U.S. Navy officially describes it an inexplicable accident. For decades, the real story of the disaster has eluded journalists, historians, and the family members of the lost crew. But a small handful of Navy and government officials knew the truth from the very beginning: the sinking of the nuclear submarine U.S.S. Scorpion and its crew of 99 men, on May 22, 1968, was an act of war.

During this time, Tang had one captain: Commander Richard Hetherington O'Kane. Together, Tang, her crew of 86 men, and her captain sank more tonnage and more enemy ships than any other submarine on active patrol.

As a journalist with privileged access to official and unofficial sources, Yang Jisheng spent 20 years piecing together the events that led to mass nationwide starvation, including the death of his own father.

Many contemporary works about the Holy Spirit are focused solely on either promoting or refuting the excesses of the extreme charismatic movement, and so there is a need to examine what Scripture has to say on the subject from a different vantage point.

Seriously Repetitious
I had high hopes that this book would shed some new light on the K129 incident. I have read the books “Blind Man’s Bluff” and Dr John Craven’s biography, “The Silent War: The Cold War Battle Beneath the Sea”. Both of these books gave nearly the same information this author did, but in a lot shorter space.
If you were to pull out the repetition from this book, it would probably be 1/2 the length.
There was some good information, especially regarding the extra crew members. But it still didn’t add enough to the story, in my view, to warrant the book.
Was the book entertaining? Yes. Would I highly recommend it? Not to anyone serious about learning about Cold War issues. But for a general story, it is worth the read.

Not convinced
It seems to me that the authors struggle to understand the Soviet mindset and have disregarded the fact that the Russians were the best at playing the espionage and deceipt game. The authors take things said and done at face value, not seeing that these were often Soviet leadership tactics to hide their true intentions (or sometimes their confusion). In the last part of the book, it seems that every political decision from 1972 onward was because of that incident and the authors cite the contents of classified meetings as though they were there. They have no evidence to support their outlandish claims and I soon grew tired of their babbling speculation.

Awesome story, credible conclusion
In the tradition of Tom Clancy, a great spy story is pitched. Whether it is true or not may never be known, but the theory fits the available facts. In my experience, the story rings true, and presented some additional new information on a key event of the cold war. Red Star Rogue is a compelling read.

The book is detailed and explains evidence for a conjecture regarding a rogue sub crew. I enjoyed listening to the new information that I had not heard before. Also, I have taken a liking to Mr. Emerson’s narration style.

Interesting and Compelling Argument
The story is very interesting. The difficult issue is actually in the reader, Brian Emerson. Unfortunately, Mr. Emerson keeps adding emphasis at odd places almost as if he is not paying attention to the story. His pronunciation of some place names is also off, at least to my ear. Sadly, Mr. Emerson created an unnecessary distraction to this story.

Word in Cuba.
The word in Cuba, after the misil crisis, was that Castro was really mad because he never have control of the missiles. He really wants to push that button.

interesting cross reference
this shouldn't be the only book you read about k-129. There are others that are more detailed and up-to-date. while it's interesting to hear the idea that a covert launch of nuclear missiles on the United States... it should be taken with a 25 pound block of salt. The worst l writing style was a bit annoying... author would build up an explanation on a person, thing, it idea for a paragraph or two before saying it stating it right out.

The 'complete' story of CIA's Glomar explorer
The greatest CIA story never told. I discovered this story relatively recently but was disappointed of how I thought it turned out. This book will give you an almost full picture even if the intelligence agencies will not comply with information requests. That being said, I will neither confirm nor deny the validity of my 5 star review.

Significant Unknown History
God works in the events of man. This story show how He used president Nixon to stabilize international relations. Who knew of an attempted nuclear strike by a rogue Russian sub? So well written that I bought the hardbound, also.
