381 Pages. August 2009 Edition. No marks or stamps. Interior text pages are flawless. In the fall of 1975 most of the crewmen of the Soviet antisubmarine warfare ship FFG Storozhevoy mutinied. The captain was seized and confined below decks, and those officers and men who did not want to participate were placed under house arrest. The dangerously idealistic ringleader of the mutiny sent a message to Moscow telling the Brezhnev government that he was taking the ship in order to give a message to the Soviet people, that their government was corrupt and needed to be changed. The officer thought it would be a wake-up call not only for Russia but for the entire world that the Cold War was spinning dangerously out of control toward global thermonuclear war. Within hours after the Storozhevoy left the port of Riga, which at the time was part of the USSR, and sailed into the Baltic Sea, Moscow ordered that he be hunted down and killed. The ship, the officers, and the men were all to be destroyed and the entire incident be covered up. Which very nearly happed, buet for the heroic efforts of a few of the officers and crew who saved the lives of everyone. And the cover-up was complete excepot for an obscure report of the incident written by a U S Naval officer studying at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, who managed to piece together the various bits and pieces of the story. Rather than relying on poetic license and clever plotting, the story told itself because it is an edge-of-the-chair thriller. If truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction, then certainly truth can and most often is even more exciting. Contents:Preface by David Hagberg, Preface By Boris Gindin, The Mutinies, Riga, The Baltic, The Great Sovieet Failure, The Mutiny of FFG Storozhevoy, The Sword and Shield The KGB, Escape, Nine Ounces, The Hunt for FFG Storozhevoy, and Fear Has Big Eyes.
