Description: |
In this major work of historical reporting, Ed Offley reveals
that the sinking of the U.S.S. Scorpion has never been a mystery,
but rather a secret buried by the U.S. government in a frantic
attempt to keep the Cold War from turning into a hot war. The
Soviets had torpedoed the Scorpion in reprisal for the
destruction of the Soviet missile sub K-129, which the Americans
had sunk in the Pacific just ten weeks earlier. But why does the
U.S. Navy continue to hide the real story of what happened on
that fateful day in 1968? In Scorpion Down, military reporter Ed Offley tells the true story of the U.S.S. Scorpion for the first time and dramatically recounts a little-known episode that nearly brought about World War III. And he conclusively demonstrates that the Navy's official account of the Scorpion incident--from the frantic open-ocean hunt for the wreckage to a court of inquiry's final conclusions--is nothing more than a carefully constructed series of lies.
