An interesting autobiography from a submariner during the cold war. I've never thought much about this part of the armed forces and it has been eye opening just how dangerous it is to be in charge of nuclear weapons of unimaginable size and mentally tough it is to be at the bottom of the sea with no outside contact for months on end.
This also had me laughing out load in places, in particular the Margaret Thatcher scene (I won't spoil it) and other parts are unimaginable now, like everyone smoking under the sea
Thank you to Netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
