At 10.30am on Saturday August 12, 2000, two massive explosions in a rapid succession shook the icy Arctic waters of the Barents Sea. The Kursk, one of the largest and most technologically advanced nuclear subs in the world, carrying a crew of 118 Russian sailors, had suffered a major, unexplained accident, and rapidly crashed to the ocean floor. Most of us can still remember how news of this terrible accident was reported around the world, and the agonising tension of the days when the doomed crew waited for rescue, the Russians seemed to turn away all international offers to help, until it was too late. Robert Moore, the former Moscow Correspondent of ITN, and now their Foreign Affairs editor, has written a thrilling and authoritative investigative book on this tragedy.
