One Navy admiral called it"one of the greatest unsolved sea
mysteries of our era." The U.S. Navy officially describes it an
inexplicable accident. For decades, the real story of the disaster
eluded journalists, historians, and the family members of the lost
crew. But a small handful of Navy and government officials knew the
truth: The sinking of the U.S.S. Scorpion on May 22, 1968, was an
act of war. In Scorpion Down , military reporter Ed Offley reveals
that the true cause of the Scorpion's sinking was buried by the
U.S. government in an attempt to keep the Cold War from turning
hot. For five months, the families of the Scorpion crew waited
while the Navy searched feverishly for the missing submarine. For
the first time, Offley reveals that entire search was cover-up,
devised to conceal that fact that the Scorpion had been torpedoed
by the Soviets. In this gripping and controversial book, Offley
takes the reader inside the shadowy world of the Cold War military,
where rival superpowers fought secret battles far below the surface
of the sea.
