Books like K-19 THE WIDOWMAKER: The Secret Story of The Soviet Nuclear Submarine

The book is undoubtely well written and catchy but, frankly, I expected something more than the mere transcription of the captain’s memoir about the accident. Actually, the transcription is presented without any comment by the author and with only a few original add-ons. Moreover, the memoir surely needs some clarifications because it is sometimes very sinthetic as Huchthausen himself. In fact, I could understand everything because I mostly already knew what he was talking about, but it may be puzzling to somebody not knowing about the topic.Neverheless, this book can be seen as an overview of the situation of the Soviet nuclear submarine fleet during the cold war era.At the very beginning of the book, the author also makes some confusions with the actual date of the Potemkin mutiny. And the account of the of K-129-related events are outdated today.
