With Cold War secrecy and speed, U.S. military intelligence raced to find a way to raise the sub, which had lodged in primordial muck three miles below the ocean's surface. Code named "Jennifer," the retrieval project brought together top military brass, the CIA, and Howard Hughes in one of the most remarkable episodes of high-tech intelligence gathering during the Cold War. Popularly and critically acclaimed when first published in 1977, Clyde W. Burleson's remarkable Cold War tale of high-tech espionage, money, power, and politics is now available for the first time in paperback. The author's new preface - which reveals how Burleson gathered and sorted much of the information that led to the writing of this book - and a swords-to-plowshares postscript guide the reader in revisiting a fascinating period of high intrigue and invention that has remained unknown to many Americans.
