Undersea Warriors
The Untold History of the Royal Navy’s Secret ServiceBy Iain BallantyneNarrated by Tim BentinckLength20h 11m
About this audiobook
The incredible inside story of the Cold War beneath the waves, pitting British and NATO’s attack submarines against the Soviets.
Undersea Warrior: a submarine designed to pursue and attack enemy submarines and surface ships using torpedoes.
This will follow the careers of four daring British submarine captains who risked their lives to keep the rest of us safe, their exploits consigned to the shadows until now. Their experiences encompass the span of the Cold War, from voyages in WW2-era submarines under Arctic ice to nuclear-powered espionage missions in Soviet-dominated seas.
There are dangerous encounters with Russian spy ships in British 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.
