Drama on the high seas as the entire world holds its breath It was the most amazing screen of brinkmanship in the Cold War era. In Oct 1962, Leader Kennedy risked inciting a nuclear war to avoid the Soviet Union from establishing missile bases in Cuba. The risk, however, was far greater than Kennedy understood. Oct Fury uncovers startling new information about the Cuban missile crisis and the potentially calamitous confrontation between US Navy destroyers and Soviet submarines in the Atlantic. Peter Huchthausen, who offered as a junior ensign aboard one of the destroyers, reveals that a single shot fired by any US warship might have led to an instantaneous nuclear response from the Soviet submarines. This riveting profile re-creates those needy days of confrontation from both the American and Russian factors of view and discloses complete information about Soviet functional plans and the secret orders directed at submarine commanders. It offers an engrossing, behind-the-scenes look at the specialized and tactical functions of two great navies along with stunning portraits of the officers and sailors on both factors who were determined to do their responsibility even in the most extreme circumstances. As absorbing and complete as a Tom Clancy book, this real-life suspense thriller is destined to become basic of naval literature.
