May 1968: An American submarine is sent to investigate suspicious Soviet ships gathered in the mid-Atlantic.

In this thrilling story that portray the human side of a naval tragedy that was officially denied for forty years, veteran submariner and bestselling author Kenneth Sewell chronicles the astounding true events behind the demise of the USS Scorpion.
