Forty years ago, in May 1968, the submarine USS Scorpion sank in mysterious circumstances with a loss of 99 lives. The tragedy occurred during the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Now, drawing on hours of exclusive interviews as well as recently declassified United States and Soviet intelligence files, Kenneth Sewell and Jerome Preisler explain what really happened to Scorpion.

When a Soviet sub mysteriously sank near Hawaii, hundreds of miles from its normal station, Soviet naval leaders mistakenly believed that a U.S. submarine was to blame. Using a cryptographic unit acquired from the North Koreans to decipher classified Navy communications, they set a trap for revenge. All Hands Down explains how the plan was executed and why the truth of the attack has been officially denied for 40 years.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] convincing argument....few will be able to resist the juicy details offered about this half-forgotten disaster and its aftermath....A satisfying historical whodunit, redolent with Cold War paranoia and tragedy." ( Kirkus Reviews)

I have listened to several submarine books, including Blind Man's Bluff, but never heard this story. It is well worth a listen.

A part of history that I never heard about.

Every man on the Scorpian deserves the Medal Of Honor. Americans should be rightfully outraged.

This book was very informative, technical, and thorough. It is a sad story. It made me wonder how many other secrets our government has kept.

Very Technical

Every war in the twentieth century causing Americans death can be laid at the feet of democrat inept leadership.

Proof democrats in power drag the Us to war

I remember hearing about the Scorpion didn't pay to much attention being in grade school. Listening to the everything that occurred at the same time really caught my attention. Although my family members didn't serve in subs but on carriers and cruisers, I could just imagine how I would have felt had something had gone wrong with their ships. I think that I was most disappointed in how the Navy treated the families... my heart ached for the young wives and children left behind and to have to wait for so long to learn what really happened. This was a very intense informative book.

Great book to see and understand some of the history of our lives. Some slow spots trying to set the background but necessary to clarify the sequence of events. It will clarify how the government is so misleading and deceitful. Makes one appreciate the courage and sacrifice of our silent service and the pitiful greed of national traitors.

Amazing history, I lived thru this era!
