Review
"A gripping tale ... a moving tragedy redeemed by acts of extraordinary courage ... has the plot, the tension and the excitement of a film." -- Orlando Figes Sunday Telegraph "The Kursk was once the pride of the Russian navy and a symbol of state power ... her story, harrowingly detailed ... stands as a testament to the bravery and loyalty of men to a nation that failed them." -- Martin Robson The Times
