Boy, If This Is True

The story of the K-129 and the Glomar Explorer is certainly known. Briefly a Soviet submarine sank and the CIA attempted to recover the boat. From here the story gets a lot more strange. The official story is that the lifting device, called 'Clementine' broke while lifting the sub and that the sub broke in two with the largest part falling back to the sea bed.

I've heard it rumored that another, or perhaps several more, trips were made with the Global Explorer and that more parts of the sub were brought up.

This book describes another rumor that has been making it around the web, to wit: The K-129 had become a rogue ship and intended to launch nuclear missiles at Pearl Harbor and perhaps at the mainland.

The story as told here is presented as true. It says that the K-129 was attempting to mimic a Chinese sub to start a war between the US and China. Could this have been true? It would have been an awfully risky move on someone's part. And boy if it had been determined that the missile had been launched by the Soviets....

This Timely Book Will Get Your Attention

With all our concern for nuclear terrorism today , this is the story of how close we we came to disaster in 1968. The author relies on his experience,a lot of leaks, and material published by others to reach very believable and alarming conclusions. I highly recommend this book

Red Star Rogue

Very well written. The technical review is excellent. The conclusions drawn by the author are more than plausible, they are the only answer.

Consider it an update to prior texts on the subject, from updated research.

From the book Blind Man's Bluff we learn about the Glomar Explorer - a ship designed to retrieve a USSR sub that had sank. Growing up in the 1970's I did not recall the news storm around this - so I read with interest. Then one of my coworkers shows me this book Red Star Rogue : The Untold Story of a Soviet Submarine's Nuclear Strike Attempt on the U.S. and I borrow it from him.

In short, the KGB push orders through the USSR Navy to quickly launch when it was not supposed to, adding a bunch of KGB operatives to take a sub K-129 to just north of Hawaii and launch their Nukes at Pearl Harbor. They screw it up, have a Nuke incident & sink the ship in March of 1968 . The book goes into details and refutes facts in previous books, details on the Nixon administrations desires and political games with the Jennifer (Glomar Explorer) project.

At times the book skips in the flow (although that could be me and my opportunities to read the book); but the political insight into 1960s and 1970s America as well las the in depth dissection of the project makes this a mandatory read. Consider it an update to prior texts on the subject, from updated research.
