Review title: A very engaging read
Product review: The book is well done. It tells a story pieced together by people involved in submarine service, but not given to talking about it. It shows a lot of what our submarines do is not just tracking enemies or being "on station" in case trouble breaks out. Much of what they do is good old fashioned espionage. I suppose I expected more episodes to be related in the book. A handful of important events are detailed. One of the more fascinating is planting eavesdropping pods over Soviet communications cables on the ocean bottom. The book instills in the reader a sense of loss and tragedy over people like John Walker, Aldrich Ames, and others who betrayed our nation's secrets and cost the lives of dedicated people in the service of our government for only a few thousand dollars. The last sections of the book give a lot of information about specific boats, crews, and voyages that will be lost on the average reader.
