In this detailed and compelling investigative report on the 1968 sinking of an American submarine, which at the time was deemed an accident, two journalists conclude that it is likely that the USS Scorpion was intentionally sunk by the Soviets. Kenneth Sewell and Jerome Preisler provide a scenario and supporting evidence based on their research in Soviet archives and interviews with members of the Soviet navy. They also explore why the U.S. did not pursue the matter, and speculate on how far the Soviets, with the help of an American spy, had penetrated Navy secrets and codes.
