Howard Hughes, Espionage and Engineering

"The Taking of K-129"-jumped to the top of my reading list today as I was able to get it from the library.

Might interest some here as it touches a lot of bases.

>>>An incredible true tale of espionage and engineering set at the height of the Cold War—a mix between The Hunt for Red October and Argo—about how the CIA, the U.S. Navy, and America’s most eccentric mogul spent six years and nearly a billion dollars to steal the nuclear-armed Soviet submarine K-129 after it had sunk to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean; all while the Russians were watching.<<<<
