A submarine vanishes.
A superpower begins listening.
A secret mission is born.
In 1968, the Soviet submarine K-129 disappeared into the Pacific Ocean without a trace. Despite a massive search, the Soviet Union could not find it.
But the United States may have known where it was.
What followed was one of the most daring intelligence operations of the Cold War. Hidden beneath nearly three miles of water lay a sunken submarine carrying military secrets of enormous value. To reach it, American intelligence launched a top-secret mission, built a massive recovery ship under a false cover story, and attempted something no one had ever done before.
Did the mission succeed?
What was recovered from the ocean floor?
And what really caused K-129 to sink?
K-129: The Hunt for a Sunken Soviet Submarine reveals the extraordinary true story of espionage, engineering, secrecy, and one of the greatest underwater mysteries in history.
A gripping Cold War tale of spies, submarines, hidden secrets, and the quest to uncover the truth buried beneath the Pacific.
