SynopsisIn 1986 the Cold War was winding down, yet under the seas the game of cat and mouse between Soviet and American submarines continued unabated. Off the coast of North Carolina, an aging Soviet ballistic missile submarine suffered a catastrophic accident and came within moments of melting down. This is the gripping, true story of 60 young Soviet men who fought -- and died -- to save their sub. Never revealed before outside the tight-knit submarine community, the events of Hostile Waters illustrate just how close the US came to Armageddon. Hostile Waters has the hallmarks of a page-turning thriller. And it's all true.
