Kursk

On a quiet Saturday morning in August 2000, two explosions - one so massive it was detected by seismologists around the world - punched through the shallow Arctic waters of the Barents Sea. And the Kursk, the largest attack submarine in the world and pride of Russia's Northern Fleet, began her fatal plunge to the ocean floor.... To read award-winning journalist Robert Moore's riveting, brilliantly researched account of one of the deadliest submarine disasters in history is to journey into the heart of the stricken vessel and witness the final hours of those on board who survived the initial blasts. To share the desperation of the British, Norwegian and Russian rescue teams. To access the highly restricted Arctic submarine base where the families of the doomed crew clamored for the truth. With exclusive new material, this revised edition of Robert Moore's bestseller, brings the harrowing, compelling story of the Kursk disaster up to date.
