BIG RED:
Three Months On Board
A Trident Nuclear Submarine
In his best-selling book, The
Commandos, Douglas C. Waller unveiled
the covert operations of America's elite
special forces soldiers. In Air
Warriors, he put you in the cockpit
with the Navy's daring carrier pilots.
In his newest book, BIG
RED: Three Months On Board A Trident Nuclear
Submarine, the veteran TIME Magazine
correspondent penetrates for the first
time one of the most secretive worlds
in the U.S. military--a Trident nuclear
submarine with its 24 strategic missiles
and more than 120 nuclear warheads.
Published
by HarperCollins, BIG RED is in
bookstores and can be ordered on the internet.
The Cold War may be over but the U.S.
Navy still has Tridents lurking under
the oceans, always ready at a moment's
notice to unleash a nuclear holocaust.
Granted the most access any journalist
has ever had to these awesome war machines,
Waller takes you aboard one of the Tridents,
the USS Nebraska,
for a tension-packed, three-month patrol
under the Atlantic Ocean.
