The CIA's Greatest Covert Operation
Inside the Daring Mission to Recover a Nuclear-Armed Soviet Sub
Project AZORIAN - the audacious six-year mission to recover a Soviet sub and learn its secrets - has been celebrated within the CIA as its greatest covert operation. Previous accounts have not had significant access to CIA personnel or documents. Now David Sharp, the mission's Director of Recovery Systems, draws upon his own recollections and personal records, ship's logs, declassified documents, and conversations with team members to shine a light on this remarkable enterprise.
