Publisher's Summary

On a quiet Saturday morning in August 2000, two explosions - one so massive it was detected by seismologists around the world - shot through the shallow Arctic waters of the Barents Sea. Russia's prized submarine, the Kursk, began her fatal plunge to the ocean floor. Award-winning journalist Robert Moore presents a riveting, brilliantly researched account of the deadliest submarine disaster in history.

Journey down into the heart of the Kursk to witness the last hours of the 23 young men who survived the initial blasts. Visit the highly restricted Arctic submarine base to which Moore obtained secret admission, where the families of the crew clamored for news of their loved ones.

When Russia learned to ask for help

They asked, but too late. Who knows what might have happened if they accepted help sooner. That does seem to be a lesson learned though. The story of this tragedy does explore how military enemies come together in humanitarian missions when not at war. A good sense of what life was like on the Kursk, what the men probably went through, and the causes of the tragedy.
