Paperback. Condition: Fair. In 1968 a Soviet G-class submarine mysteriously exploded and sank to the bottom of the Pacific. With Cold War secrecy and speed, U.S. military intelligence raced to find a way to raise the sub.

The Jennifer Project revisits a fascinating period of high-level intrigue and invention that has remained unknown to many Americans.…
