Under the Waves: The Soviet Who Said No

It’s October 1962. A Soviet submarine is baking beneath the Caribbean, cut off from the world while American ships above drop depth charges—not to destroy it, but to force it to the surface. Problem is… nobody on board knows that. Inside, the air is thick, the temperature is climbing, and the men are running out of time—and patience. Two officers are convinced the war has already started. And they’re ready to fire a nuclear torpedo. One man isn’t. His name was Vasily Arkhipov. And this is the story of the moment when one man’s refusal to panic may have kept the world from nuclear annihilation.
