Red Star Rogue by Kenneth Sewell

Its actually a very intesting piece of detective work.

It covers the loss of K-129 a Golf II class ballistic missile submarine 300 miles off of Hawaii.

The author tries to prove that the Submarine was lost in the act of launching a nuclear missile at Hawaii as part of a plot by Yuri Antropov the head of the KGM and Mihkail Suslov the Communist party theologist (for want of the better word) to start a nuclear war between Russia's two biggest enemies China and the U.S.

The book also looks at Project Jennifer which was the recovery of the Sub from the bottom of the ocean by the infamous Glomar Explorer the boat built by Howard Hughes for the CIA.

The book also covers Nixon's operation Madman where he wanted the Russians to believe that he was an unstable president.

Its decently written, frightening in its context and while I'm still not sure it proves that there was a rogue sub out there capable of starting a global nuclear war, its certainly not out of the realm of possiblities in 1968.
