Critics Review
Ballantyne has written an excellent book, presenting many exciting and never-before-told stories from British submariners who served during the Cold War … it is surely one of the most enthralling of Cold War submarine thrillers - WARSHIPS INTERNATIONAL FLEET REVIEW
Ballantyne has persuaded former submarine captains to share not only their stories about life aboard what German wartime submariners called “iron coffins”, but also some of the largely unknown details of their deployment, including their crucial role in the Cold War - DAILY EXPRESSI’ve found no other book that delves so comprehensively into the underwater battle space during those tense yearsAbout The Author
Iain Ballantyne
Iain Ballantyne has been on both ends of a submarine attack. At the close of the Cold War he was aboard a warship forced to take evasive action in the Barents Sea when a Russian submarine launched a torpedo. He has also sailed under the waves aboard a nuclear-powered attack submarine, at one stage using the periscope to view potential targets during a combat exercise. A one-time London-based defence and diplomatic correspondent for a national news agency, Iain has contributed to coverage of naval and military issues in the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY, MAXIM and FOCUS, as well as prestigious publications published on behalf of NATO and the Royal Navy.
