4.9/5 (23202 ratings)

Description:From the memoirs of K-19 Capt. N. ZateyevJuly 4, 1961: The North Atlantic"At 0415 I got a message, 'Reactor power has dropped to zero!'...We were facing the most dangerous calamity that could happen to a nuclear reactor. I ordered a radiation alert: 'Emergency in Compartment Six!'"Captain Nikolai Zateyev, skipper of the Soviet submarine K-19, was 1,500 miles from home and 150 feet below the surface when he and his crew found themselves facing a nuclear nightmare. This dramatic book, companion volume to the film K-19: The Widowmaker, starring Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson, is a tale of Cold War crisis, courage, and cover-up that strips away 30 years of secrecy to reveal a Russian Navy whose worst enemy was itself. Drawing on Zateyevs own outspoken diary, author Peter Huchthausen, a former U.S. Navy antisubmarine expert, tells the story of the K-19 - and as he does, he also presents a capsule history of the U.S.S.R.'s desperate race to keep up with American submarine technology, as well as a shocking glimpse of nuclear wreckage and lost weapons littering the ocean floor. WIth rare archival photos, movie stills, and an afterword by director Katheryn Bigelow, K-19: The Widowmaker is a stunning account of an ill-starred submarine...and the courageous yet all-but-crippled fleet it symbolized.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
