Аннотация:
On August 12, 2000, the giant Russian submarine Kursk suffered a catastrophic explosion and sank in the icy Barents Sea. As survivors of the 118-man crew struggled to survive, the Russian Navy failed to notice the accident, while Western observers immediately alerted leaders in the United States and Britain. Why then did Western officials fail to alert Vladimir Putin and his new post-Soviet government? And why did the Russians then rebuff international rescue attempts when their own equipment proved woefully inadequate? Ramsey Flynn untangles the deceptions and conspiracies surrounding this disaster, and tells the gripping story of the men aboard Kursk.
