“The story of USS Scorpion's sinking, as well as the capture of the USS Pueblo, is common knowledge to most career sailors. However, tying both of these instances together with the Walker spy case is not. The authors do a credible job of weaving these three items together and how the families of the fallen were negatively affected well into the future. A real page-turner that reads like a who done it but much sadder because of the fact they are all real-world cases. Well worth the read for any history buff.”
