Narrated by Tom Weiner

Few know how close the world has come to annihilation better than the warriors
who served America during the tense, forty-five-year struggle known as the Cold
War. Yet for decades, their work has remained shrouded in secrecy. Now, in this
riveting new history, W. Craig Reed, a former navy diver and fast-attack
submariner, provides an eye-opening, pulse-pounding narrative of the underwater
struggles and espionage operations between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. that
brought us to the brink of nuclear war more than once.

Red November is filled with hair-raising, behind-the-scenes stories that take
you deep beneath the surface and into the action during the entire Cold War
period from 1946 through 1992. Reed served aboard submarines involved in
espionage operations, and his father was a top military intelligence specialist
intimately involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Reed is one of the first authors
to obtain so many in-depth interviews with dozens of navy divers, espionage
operatives, submariners, and government officials on both sides (including several
Soviet submarine captains) about the most daring and decorated missions of the
conflict, including top-secret Ivy Bells, Boresight, Bulls Eye, and Holystone
operations.

Transcending traditional submarine, espionage, and Cold War accounts,
Red November is an up-close examination of one of the most dangerous times in
world history and an intimate look at the men and women who participated in our
country's longest and most expensive underwater war.
