The Taking of K-129: How the CIA Used Howard Hughes to Steal a Russian Sub in the Most Daring Covert Operation in History by Josh Dean

5.0

This is a kick-ass, ripping yarn. If you're interested in Space Age engineering, nuclear submarines, the Cold War, the CIA subterfuge, Howard Hughes, undersea manganese mining and the malaise of the post-Nixon White House, this is the book for you.
