Review
an exciting, thought-provoking and very instructive book, most strongly recommended SCUTTLEBUTT Ballantyne has written an excellent book, presenting many exciting and never before told stories from British submariners who served during the Cold War...it is surely one of the most enthralling of Cold War submarine thrillers. -- Cem Devrim Yaylali Warships International Fleet Review Ballantyne has persuaded former submarine captains to share not only their stories about life aboard what German wartime submariners called "iron coffins", but also some of the largely unknown details of their deployment, including their crucial role in the Cold War. Daily Express I've found no other book that delves so comprehensively into the underwater battle space during those tense years. -- Julian Stockwin Author of The Kydd Series
