SCORPION DOWN The Untold Story of the Sinking of an American Submarine

The sinking of the nuclear submarine USS SCORPION in 1968, and the death of all 99 crewmen, was for years regarded as a strange and tragic mystery. Now military reporter Offley reveals that there never was a mystery--just a cover-up in the classic style. On that fateful day, the Cold War threatened to escalate, and the American people have been kept in the dark until now. The avuncular-sounding Richard Ferrone guides us along a journey of discovery as Offley painfully navigates through decades of hints and rumors, false leads and doublespeak. Truly, in SCORPION DOWN the demands of the dead to be heard and remembered are answered with dignity and respect. B.D.J. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
