"In 1984, Tom Clancy published The Hunt for Red October, a thriller that skyrocketed Clancy into international fame. The inspiration for that novel came from an obscure report by a United States naval officer of a mutiny aboard a Soviet warship in the Baltic Sea. The Hunt for Red October actually happened, and Boris Gindin lived through every minute of it. After decades of silence and fear. Gindin has finally come forward to tell the entire story of the mutiny aboard the FFG Storozhevoy, the real-life Red October." "Now, with the help of USA Today author David Hagberg, former Senior Lieutenant Boris Gindin relives every minute of that harrowing event. From the danger aboard the ship to the threats of death from the KGB to the fear that forced him to flee the Soviet Union for the United States, Mutiny reveals the real-life story behind The Hunt for Red October and offers an eye-opening look at the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War."--BOOK JACKET.
