 SOMETIMES WE LOOK TO HARD AND SEE THINGS THAT AREN'T REALLY THERE June 23, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
IS IT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO JUST BELIEVE THE OFFICIAL STORY? THE USS SCORPION SUFFERED A TRAGIC ACCIDENT AND ALL HANDS WERE LOST. I ALSO READ RED STAR ROGUE AND BOUGHT IT TO THAT A LOT MORE THAN THIS. HOWEVER I SEE THE AUTHOR IS BACKING THIS STORY WITH HIS OWN BOOK WHICH GIVES ME DOUBT. SOMETIMES WE LOOK TO HARD AND SEE THINGS THAT AREN'T REALLY THERE. LET'S JUST SAY THAT ANY EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS THE AUTHOR'S CASE CANNOT BE PROVEN. THIS BIGGEST BEING A SOSUS TAPE LABELED "DEATH OF THE SCORPION" THAT CONTAINS A DOGFIGHT BETWEEN US AND THE SOVIETS FOLLOWED BY THE SOUND OF HER HULL IMPLODING. WHERE IS THIS TAPE? IF THERE WAS A COVER UP YOU DON'T THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD CONFISCATE THAT TAPE INSTEAD OF LETTING IT BE USED AS A TRAINING TOOL???

If only half true it is still the best sub story I have yet read. I read RED STAR ROGUE first and then charged into this. They go together like pie and ice cream. My only service experience is 3 years overseas in the USAF medical corps during the sixties [66 to 68] and did not have access to any secrets but my gut feeling is both stories COULD BE TRUE.
In depth study from the cold war front. April 23, 2008

A revealing expose on the cold war. Although it is a long story for cold war veterans, the author provides excellent background. Ed Offley connects the dots between CWO (traitor) John Walker and USS Pueblo. His analysis of how Russian KGB passive use of our hardware and software communications systems begs the further question. Did the Russians actively use our communications technology against the US Fleet as well? There is no doubt in my mind the Russians torpedoed the Scorpion. This book is a deeply researched and an excellent read

I found the book to be great reading, but it somehow didn't quite convince me of the findings. I have always believed that the Soviets had something to do with the loss of the USS Scorpion, since my Sub Schools days. I was hoping this book would confirm my beliefs, but it fell short of convincing me. However I still recommend the reading of this book.
