October Fury (CD)

In October Fury, a U.S. Navy officer shares his first-hand account of the Cuban missile crisis. Using his own experiences as well as the personal accounts and observations of U.S. and Soviet officers and sailors, Peter Huchthausen transports us to the deadly center of this showdown at sea, in which four Soviet submarines were equipped with nuclear-tipped torpedoes. In a vividly detailed narrative worthy of Tom Clancy, Huchthausen takes us on board the U.S. destroyers and Soviet submarines, re-creating the all-too-real events that brought the two superpowers to the very brink of mutual annihilation. Thrilling, unsettling, and ultimately inspiring, this extraordinary expose tells an unforgettable story of skill, heroism, and dedication to duty.
