ABOUT
A gripping account of the Russian Navy's greatest peace-time disaster, the sinking of the nuclear submarine Kursk.
On August 12, 2000, the Russian Navy experienced a devastating catastrophe as the nuclear-powered Kursk submarine, manned by a 118-member crew, sank to the bottom of the Barents Sea. Peter Truscott examines Russia's failure to respond to the crisis and explains this tragedy in Kursk, providing countless interviews with relatives of the crew and experts. The result is a fascinating, vivid recreation of the terrible final hours of the crew as they waited in vain for rescue.
Includes monochrome images.
