| 520 | |a Hunter-killers were submarines designed to pursue and attack enemy submarines and surface ships using torpedoes. Ballantyne follows the careers of four British submarine captains who risked their lives to keep the rest of us safe, their exploits consigned to the shadows until now. Their experiences encompass the span of the Cold War, from voyages in WW2-era submarines under Arctic ice to nuclear-powered espionage missions in Soviet-dominated seas. It is the first time the men have spoken out about their covert lives in the submarine service. -- adapted from jacket | ||
