Publisher's Synopsis
2005. While conducting a secret mission thirty miles off the remote cost of Kamchatka, the Russian Navy submarine AS-28 became snared in the thick cables anchored to 60-tonne concrete blocks. Trapped 600 feet down, her crew of seven now had just seventy two hours before the air ran out. Twenty-four hours later, Commander Ian Riches, boss of the Royal Navy's Submarine rescue team, got the call: there was a sub down, and the clock was ticking. 72 Hours tells the story of an extraordinary, edge-of-the-seat real-life drama. It's the gripping, inside story of one of the most dramatic rescue attempts of recent years, by the man who led it.
