The Audiobook of Steve Maffeo's tale of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis is giving an added dimension to his gripping story telling. The narrator captures the essence of the intricacies and nuances of the Russian language--its inflections and tonalities--that gives "The Russian Who Saved The World" an authentic "you-are-there" presence and depth to that turbulent and tense period in US-USSR relations.
Moreover, it gives justice in bringing to life the bravery and courage of CAPT Arkhipov's showdown efforts to prevent what might have been a nuclear war of catastrophic proportions. In the voices of the submarine crew, the listener will share in the fear and desperation of sweaty and oxygen-deprived submariners caught up in a climactic situation that could change the world forever.
Indeed, the Audiobook is a welcome and worthy companion that lets the listener share in one of the most dangerous periods in US history. Bravo Zulu!
