About this listen

 One of the great secrets of the Cold War, hidden for decades, is revealed at last.

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.

Interesting story although seems a lot of it is a bit tenuous but still enjoyed the story but the narration was awful like being read to by a eight year old.

What did you like most about Red Star Rogue?

This story is really interesting. The author manages to go into quite a lot of technical detail but doesn't let it get in the way of the story.

Great Story

wow... this guy has such a blinkered and biased view of history that I can't even finish the first chapter.

Total rubbish.

only USA chanters need apply.

Loved the story, well told too. The story did seem abridged, jump cuts between points being portrayed and sudden ends to sentences or statements. Having not read the book itself, I can't tell whether it was written that way or not. Nevertheless it is a fascinating story.

The content is really good, but I feel like there wasn't a good structure to the information. I sometimes felt it was rambling through the story instead of clarifying each step. However, the content is still really interesting and the performance is good.

Not Bad
