It is a deadly game of cat and mouse. The Barracuda, the most advanced attack submarine in the U.S. undersea arsenal is hunting the Soviet's amazing sonar-proof underwater nuclear weapon, Potemkin. And what starts out as a simple show of Superpower bravado soon escalates into an all-out nuclear showdown.

Quite a disturbing book, at least to me.It's a generally well done novel of life and preparation for war and, as at least some of the sailors see it, prevention of war under the sea.Though probably the author never intended this message, here is something I see: The entire human race is always in danger as long as nation-states exist and especially if there are super-powers.And doubly especially if those super-powers have nuclear weapons.This book was written while the Evil Empire of the SovietI read this when I was in the Navy stationed in D. C. This is still the best book I've ever read.
This was a great cold war story of submarines. Would highly recommend it.Best submarine story ever written.
a solid read. even though the book was written many years ago, the story line still held my interest. Did they really allow all that tobacco smoking in submarines????
Moving with impressive detail and believable characters who ring true, this is one of those adventure/thrillers just feels real--Joseph brings his readers into a surveillance sub, and pits them against the fears, uncertainties, and triumphs felt from moment to moment, in both war games and war reality. Early on, it had me hooked to the point where I didn't want to walk away to finish it later, and yet it managed to surprise me quite a bit, right through to the end.
Another book I remember reading back in high school I picked up on a whim to re-read. I remember it coming out some time after Hunt for Red October and a friend highly recommended it to me. It was a crazy book, and I remember it got me started on reading various submarine warfare novels, especially those by Richard P. Henrick. This one was rather different than Clancy's novel. Whereas Hunt for Red October takes place 'now', To Kill the Potemkin takes place back in the late 60s during the Vietnam
