A Cold War disaster that took ninety-nine lives, and was denied for forty years—what really happened to the USS Scorpion?
May 1968: An American submarine is sent to investigate suspicious Soviet ships gathered in the mid-Atlantic. No one aboard the USS Scorpion was aware of the trap they rode into—that the Soviets planned revenge for the mysterious sinking of a Russian sub two months before…or that a traitor has been supplying the KGB with the US Navy’s top-secret codes.
