[MilCom] Interesting Book "Red Star Rogue"

[Ken]

One of my Christmas gifts this year was the paperback book "Red Star Rogue", 
Kenneth Swell with Clint Richmond, Pocket Star Books, New York NY, Copyright 
2005,  ISBN-13: 978-0-7432-6112-8, 462 pages.

The book presents potential facts to the theory that in 1968,  a Rouge 
Russian submarine, off the Hawaii coast, attempts to launch a nuclear 
missile at Pearl Harbor.  The submarine suffers a catastrophe explosion, due 
to the nuclear "fail safe" system that is installed when they try to launch 
the nuclear missile.

This is a book I found that I couldn't put down when I started to read it. 
A great "Cold War" story, involving US Navy assets such as attack submarines 
(stationed close to the USSR submarine ports), SOSUS, P2/P3 "hunters", USS 
Halibut "recovery vehicle"; NSA's "bird cage antennas" (used to triangulate 
USSR microburst transmissions), USAF NORAD's satellites (that could detect 
specific missile rocket engine flash launches), and finally Howard Hughes' 
"Glomar Explorer".....
